“…In other passages of the report, Rosa mentions some "Coptic crypts", without providing additional information. Unfortunately, no pottery finds are mentioned in the text in connection with any Coptic-related buildings 14. Consequently, no useful information about archaeological context is available for the Byzantine pottery from Asyut in the Turin museum.…”

The article analyses a previously unpublished painted jar from the Byzantine Period discovered by Ernesto Schiaparelli at Asyut, possibly in 1911, and presently kept at the Museo Egizio, Turin (S. 15626). The distinctive female figure represented on the upper half of the body of the vessel is rather rare in the Byzantine repertoire. The author compares it with similar figures found on different supports and in different contexts. Notably, she highlights parallels with painted pottery from the monastery of Abba Nefer the Hermit at Manqabad, as well as in pottery assemblages from Kellia, Saqqara, Esna, Tebtynis, Deir el Bachit (West Thebes), and especially towns in Middle Egypt such as Amarna (Kom el-Nana), El-Ashmunein, Antinoopolis and Wadi Sarga. The probably non-religious female figure may be an instance of the well-known tendency in Byzantine Egypt to draw on the Hellenistic repertoire, especially in depictions of figures of prosperity and good luck, which would have been easily recognizable by both Christians and pagans. ملخص البحث: حلل المقالة إناء ملون لم يتم نشره من قبل ويعود إلى العصر البيزنطي، إكتشفه إرنستو سكياباريلي في أسيوط، على الأرجح في عام 1911، محفوظ حالياً في المتحف المصري بتورينو (S. 15626). الشكل الأنثوي المميز المعروض في النصف العلوي من جسم الإناء نادر جداً ضمن مجموعات أعمال العصر البيزنطي. يقارن المؤلف الشكل الموجود على الجزء العلوي من الإناء بأشكال متشابهة موجودة على أدوات مختلفة. تجدر الإشارة إلى أن الشكل يُبرز أوجه التشابه مع الفخار الملون بدير الناسك أبو نفر في منقباد، وكذلك في مجموعات فخارية موجودة في منطقة كيليا وسقارة وإسنا وتبتنيس ودير البشت (غرب طيبة)، وبشكل خاص في مدن مصر الوسطى مثل العمارنة (كوم النعناع) والأشمونين وانطيونوبوليس ووادي سرجة. ربما يكون شكل الشخصية الأنثوية غير الديني مثالاً على النزعة المعروفة في مصر البيزنطية من خلال الإرتكاز على مجموعة أعمال العصر الهلنستي، لا سيما في تصوير أشكال الرخاء والحظ السعيد التي كان يمكن التعرف عليها بسهولة لكلٍ من المسيحيين والوثنيين.
