ANCIENT EGYPTIAN BOWL 
THERE is in London an association called 
Friends of the National Collection which 
has presented to the British Museum a piece of 
pottery alone of its kind. It is a bowl about five 
inches across the top, very thin and firm in make, 
the outside decorated in thorough Egyptian 
style with designs of different colors. When 
dry the interior is all white ; when water is 
poured in the ground appears fawn colored, with 
figures and Latin inscription in white. The lat- 
ter shows that the period is when Christianity 
was accepted as the State religion for the Roman 
world. In the centre is a seated figure of Christ, 
with right arm extended. Above the shoulders 
are medallions with portraits of the Emperor 
Constantine and the Empress Fausta in profile. 
A bit of the rim is gone, leaving a gap in the 
inscription, which runs around the lip of the bowl 
within. What remains is as follows: " Val. Constantivs. 
Pivs. Felix. Avgvstvs. Cvm. Flav. Max. Favst." On the 
piece that is missing The Athenaeum conjectures abbreviations 
for a pious petition that Constantine and Fausta may live in 
the favor of the Lord. Rarely do we find such a combination 
as this. The bowl is a singular example of the perfection to 
which pottery was carried in Egypt at a late epoch, and the 
portraits are very welcome documents for the artist and his- 
torian. — Glass and Pottery Reviezv.
