This gold Ewer may have been used for the king's
personal toilet and forms a pair with a gold basin. They
were in fact deposited together in the king's burial
chamber. As with the basin, this object is very simple
in its elegance. Two cartouches with the coronation and
birth names of the pharaoh are inscribed on the body of
the Ewer.
