Hathoric Jars during the reign of Amenhotep III The Case of Malqata

Pottery is a prime source of information about ancient civilizations؛pottery vessels are considered an extraordinary production from the artistic, cultural, and technical point of view, which reflect the character of the artist and the surrounding environment. Until recently, the study of pottery antiquities in general and pottery vessels, to be specific, was limited due to their forms of different styles and classifications. History occupied the forefront with the evolution of these shapes in various archaeological studies, from classifying shapes to highlighting their use, therefore, the importance of this study lies in an attempt to provide a survey of pottery vessels embodied in the Hathoric figure by studying a group of jars preserved in some of the international Museums where these jars were distinguished by the uniqueness of their colors and decoration and the appearance of this type of utensils in abundance in the tombs of the New Kingdom, mainly in El -Amarna and Malqata* area besides, what was recently discovered in palaces of Amenhotep III. The researcher focused her attention on six pottery vessels.
