Sumerian Gold Cosmetic Container in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009
Cosmetic Container
Gold
2550-2450 BCE
Ur, Iraq (PG800)
# B16710
These gold containers were found in Queen Puabi's tomb chamber. The oval shape of the two bowls is a common metal vessel form. The fluted bowl shares many design elements with the fluted tumbler, and they may be thought of as a set. The cosmetic container, shaped as a cockleshell, was filled with a green pigment. The pieces are in such good condition because gold is a stable metal.
Text from two U. Penn. Museum labels.
