The goddess Nebethetep, who is invoked in the inscription and who is related to Hathor, strides through the marshes in the scene on one side of this jar. On the other the falcon god Horus is depicted in a thicket in the marshes.Relief-decorated faience vessels of the first half of the first millennium B.C. form a distincitve group. The scenes they exhibit are drawn from a set of interconnected cycles mainly having to do with divine and royal rebirth and great female goddesses, mythological events that were filled with meaning for society's continuity and prosperity. As the inscription on the rim of this vessel indicates, these themes were evoked at the transition to a new year, which in Egypt occurred when the Inundation began to cover the land and the success of the coming growing season was in the balance.
