Kafr El Sheikh Museum features alabaster vessel for October
The Kafr El Sheikh Museum has selected an alabaster vessel to be displayed throughout October, coinciding with World Food Day celebrated annually on October 16. The goal is to highlight the connection between ancient Egyptian civilization and the production and storage of food. The vessel, which features a lid shaped like a slaughtered goose, illustrates a part of ancient Egyptians’ life in preparing and preserving food, with preservation methods including drying, salting, smoking, and fermentation. This choice underscores the importance of linking archaeological artifacts to international observances and aims to raise awareness of the historical and cultural practices related to food handling and storage among ancient Egyptians. The piece will be exhibited all October as part of the "Piece of the Month" program at the museum, fostering public understanding of ancient Egyptian life and their dietary customs.
