This piece originated from Egypt during the Naqada II, Predynastic period. This period is supposedly one of the most significant predynastic cultures in Egyptian history. The jar was made around 3650-3300 B.C. During that time, artists had developed new styles and techniques, which included more detailed carving. These new adaptations could have came from neighboring countries or trading partners. Capturing animals on the pottery also seemed to be very popular. The jar has a height of thirty centimeters and a diameter of thirty centimeters as well.
