The basketry case held two two-handled bottles that fit perfectly in its comparments, and another bottle that was much too small and probably did not belong. A baskety lid fit down over the top.

The Met collection of ancient Egyptian art consists of approximately 30,000 objects of artistic, historical, and cultural importance, dating from about 300,000 BCE to the 4th century CE. A signifcant percentage of the collection is derived from the Museum's three decades of archaeological work in Egypt, initiated in 1906 in response to increasing interest in the culture of ancient Egypt.
