FOUR EGYPTIAN ALABASTER JARS
OLD KINGDOM-MIDDLE KINGDOM, CIRCA 2686-1650 B.C.
One with ovoid body and rounded rim; another of squat form with separately made rim; another with broad flattened rim, flared foot and slender concave cylindrical body, with disc lid; and another with flaring body, rounded base and separately made shoulder, neck and rim
4 ¼ in. (10.8 cm.) high max.

Almost certainly acquired by either William James (1854-1912) or his brother Frank James (1851-1890), who both travelled extensively in Egypt and the rest of Africa, and by descent to Edward James (1907-1984) in London and later at Monkton House (recorded there in 1967); subsequently moved to West Dean House circa 1986 (recorded there in 1987).
