Funerary jar
Funerary jars decorated with boats became popular in the later part of the period. Elaborate examples, like this one from the grave of a young woman, show figures involved in ritual activities. A woman dances with arms raised, as two men beat out the rhythm with sticks. She might represent a goddess or priestess, summoned from the boat to give her blessing for successful rebirth.
