Nubians and Egyptians overlap

This is a beautiful terra cotta piece created by the Nubians. The Egyptians loved the Nubian craftsmanship so much they had work like this imported and painted Nubians inside the Tombs of Pharohs and any wealthy individual. They valued their work so much they wanted to bring it to the afterlife.In primitive times the Nubians could build the vessels walls paper thin, and knew the difference of oxidation and reduction.
These vessels were not made to sit on the tabletop but as offering to a deceased person. That is why the majority of these vessels wer found in graves of Egyptians and Nubians ( but the vessels in the Nubian graves were far superior than the ones found in the Egyptians).
