Clay Jar-Cap (Textured & Un-Textured)

3D Model

Ancient Egyptian clay jar-cap with stamped impressions of the name of King Hor-Aha of the First Dynasty, excavated at the Naqada Royal Tomb. The tomb, belonging to Hor-Aha’s mother, Queen Neith-hotep, suffered from fire damage at some point after the burial.

A textured and un-textured version are presented together here for comparison between the two. The un-textured model was exported with a much higher face count (1 million) compared to the textured version (64 thousand, our normal Sketchfab model size) to preserve detail in the mesh.
