Faience grape cluster. From Armant. The Petrie Museum list describes this as from the 'High Desert'. Freidman 1998 p 189 explains that the grape was made of two identical parts which were removed from the mould, partly dried and joined with slurry before firing. Grape clusters are found in scattered clusters at Amarna. They are also found on other New Kingdom sites. The upper half of one side of the cluster was removed and holes pierced in the other for attachment to a beam. See Brovarski, E. In 'Egypt's Golden Age. The Art of Living In The New Kingdom' 1982.
