Checklistof predynastic"Decorated' pottery

with human fïgures

Stan Hendricls

The present checklist was conceived as an appendix to

Barbara Adam's article on sherdswith human figures from
her excavationsat Hierakonpolis (Adams 2002) and therefore
only aims at being a researchtool.
All examplesknown to us ofpredynastic pottery belonging to
Petrie's Decorated class (Petrie l92l: pl. XXXI-XXXVII)
with human figuration have been listed. Nearly all of the
vessels mentioned have been published, but a few
unpublishedones have also been included.l
As decorated jars are well-appreciated objects on the
antiquities market it does not come as a surprise that they
have regularly been falsified. Pehie (1920: pl. XXI, 46 K)
noted that the decoration was faked on one of the vesselshe
had published (which however did not prevent the jar from
showing up as an example of D-ware in recent publications,
cf. el-Yakhy 1981: 78, fig. A 8). As decoratedjars with
human representation were particularly sought after they
were of course even more likely to be faked. Over time,
several examples of original jars with false decoration have
been mentioned (Brunton 1934; Payne, Kacrnarczyk &

t
A few vessels in the British Museum, Iondon and the Royal Museums
for Art and History, Brussels have only been mentioned in an unpublished
MA dissertation (Smith 1989-190). I would like to thank Vivian Davies
and Luc Limme, for their permission to include these objects.

Fleming 1977; Lupton 1992), and probably many more
remainhiddenin museumstoreroomsor privatecollections.
In the presentlist a few jars with doubtful decorationhave
beenincluded.The obviouslyfake oneshave howeverbeen
omitted,althoughthey have been includedin somestudies
(el-Yakhy1981,1985).2The armlesshumanrepresentations
seemparticularly suspectand have only very exceptionally
been found during excavation.'Other types of predynastic
objects,suchas figurines(Ucko & Hodges1963)decorated
palettes(Arkell 1955)or flint figures(Scharff 1929: 67-68,
Abb. 47) have also been faked. The problem of fake
decoration on predynastic vesselshas meanwhile been
discussed in detailpar Aksamit( zoot:sz-00;0.
The interpretationof the scenesrepresented on thesejars is
still a far from settledproblem,which falls far beyondthe
aims of the presentconhibution.For the most important
pointsof view, see:Aksamit1981,1992,1998;BraclqA. &
Znller,H. 1989;Brunner-Traut 1975;el-Yakhy1981,1985;
Gilbert 1999;Hendrickx1998,2000;Midant-Reynes 2000:
189-192;MonnetSaleh1983;Smith1993;Williams1988.
The typological comparisonswith Petrie's typology of
Decoratedvessels(Pehie l92l: pl. XXX-X)O(VII) given
hereareonly indicativeandfocuson vesselshaperatherthan
on the decoration(cf. Gilbert 1999:28).

t To those mentioned by the authors above, can be added several

examplcsfrom the collection dc Rusta{acll (dc Rustafaell 1909: pl.
XVV3; Sotheby'sLondon1913:no314,316-318,321,pl. )OryD andthe
OtagoMuseum(Waite 1950:pl. l4). All of the examplesgiven by el-
Yakhy l98l: 78, fig. A are most probablyfakes.A few vasesin the
Medelhavsmuseetat Stockholm have nevertheless been included-
dthough the decorationof at leastof a few of them seemsdoubtfirl.
'A possibleexampleftom el-Amrahhasnot beenincludedhere(Maclver
& Mace 1902:pl. XIV/D 50 b; Pehiel92l: pl.?"??).
