I slept thru the winter solstice at 10:03am, a near undetectable moment when the sun reaches its most southernly point in the sky for the Northern Hemisphere. The tilt of the Earth's axis brings winter north and summer south. A glint of optimism as the days promise to get longer

Happy real new year! #Solstice

I sometimes wonder if our ancestors felt a little less depressed, overwhelmed and helpless back when news from far away took days, weeks or even months to arrive in stead of seconds like it does today.

@PicturesFoIder How can anyone know the gender identity of an unborn baby? Or do they plan to impose the one of their choosing upon the child no matter their biological sex?

An ancient Egyptian ceramic offering bowl with human-shaped feet, dating back to Predynastic Period (Late Naqada I–Naqada II, 3700–3450 BC), is a fascinating example of early Egyptian artistry and symbolism. Crafted from readily available Nile clay, the bowl features a simple, round shape. Its surface is expertly smoothed, slipped, and polished, giving it a subtle sheen that speaks to the skill of its makers.

(Predynastic Period (6000-3150 BC) was a time of significant development in Egyptian craftsmanship, including a diverse range of pottery vessels like this unique footed bowl.)

What makes this bowl particularly intriguing are the two human feet solidly attached to its underside, causing it to tip slightly forward as if in the act of presentation or offering. This distinctive form bears a striking resemblance to an Egyptian hieroglyph meaning "to bring" or "to carry."

The forward-tilted stance of the bowl, along with human-shaped feet, is thought to symbolize the act of "bringing" or "offering," mimicking the Egyptian hieroglyph for "to bring". These bowls were typically crafted from Nile clay, a material readily available from the banks of the Nile River. 

Despite its unique characteristics and symbolic potential, the precise original use of these footed bowls remains a mystery to archaeologists. As the prompt notes, none of the known examples of this type of bowl have been found in a "well-understood context"—meaning, they haven't been discovered in a way that clearly indicates their function within a specific ritual, domestic, or funerary setting. Some researchers believed these bowls were used for ritualistic offerings, possibly containing libations (liquid offerings) for deities or the deceased in tombs or sanctuaries. This lack of contextual information leaves their exact purpose open to scholarly interpretation, though their form strongly suggests a ritualistic or ceremonial role related to bringing offerings or provisions.
