Museum : Predynastic footed Bowl reproduction on sale at Met

Art Museum Journal (Stan Parchin)

It is good to see that the famous footed bowl from the Metropolititan Museum of Arts has been made available for purchase from the Met's store as a reproduction for everyone to enjoy. Stan gives a description of the original vessel which belongs to the Naqada (pre Pharaonic) period of Egypt and dates to between 3900 and 3650 BC. Sadly it is unprovenanced.
