Nemset Vase


 * Other Names:**

// Nmst //

//Nemset// vessels were vases which often had a spout for easy pouring and which were used for libation or lustration. The vase poured out water, oil, milk, etc. during rituals, often into an accompanying ewer (bowl). They are frequently depicted in scenes of the Opening of the Mouth ritual or of offerings to the gods, and are a standard feature of a pharaoh's set of ritual objects. They were made out of alabaster, clay, or gold, and decorated with the head of a falcon or a ram.
