专家说明

The jar above is a modern interpretation of earthenware jars into which the water of the Nile was poured and through whose porous bodies the water was filtered. The water would collect at the bottom and trickle into the protruding basin of its stand, a kilga, thus also cooling it.
A rare exaqmple of a kilga and its jar sold at Christie's London, 25 April 2013, lot 85.
