"Examination of the floor showed that it is made of white marble,
pieces of basalt, pieces of quartz and burnt clay. All these
components were placed in an (aesthetic composition over
a layer of limestone. The first floor which is 332 x 183 cm bears
floral patterns as well as lines, circles and squares in white, red
and black. The second [floor] has in the middle a circle with a
plaited outline of a mixture of three colours. In the circle the
phrase "Good luck to the builder of the bath" is written in ancient
Greek. As for the third floor, it was the worst in shape. "

"Experts believe the vase may be one of the earliest depictions of an Egyptian burial on a ceramic vessel in the world.....The decoration on the vase shows a figure on a boat, lying on its back and curled in the foetal position. This is how some early Egyptians may have been buried before mummification was introduced." The Predynastic vase will be on show at the Royal Pump Room Museum in Harrogate.
