PETIT VASE NAGADA EN BRÈCHE, ÉGYPTE ANTIQUE PRÉDYNASTIQUE
KLEINE NAGADA-VASE AUS BREKZIE PRÄDYNASTISCHES ALTES ÄGYPTEN Kleine längliche Vase mit runder Basis und einer ringförmigen Lippe am oberen Rand. Brèche. Prädynastisches Ägypten, Nagada-Periode II oder III, 3500-3000 v.Chr. H. 7,1 cm. Historischer Hintergrund Im alten Ägypten galten Gefäße aus hartem Stein als Luxusgegenstände allererster Güte. Die Kunst, Geschirr aus Stein zu meißeln, erreichte ihren Höhepunkt bereits in so weit zurückliegenden Epochen wie der Thinitenzeit und dem Alten Reich. Die Hauptfunktion von Steingefäßen bestand darin, Salben oder kosmetische Öle zu enthalten und sie dank ihrer dicken und undurchlässigen Wände zu konservieren. Während diese Substanzen im Alltag unzählige Verwendungsmöglichkeiten hatten (Medikamente, Kosmetika), spielten sie auch im religiösen Leben (Opfergaben in den Tempeln, tägliche Salbungen von Statuen und Kultobjekten) und im Bestattungswesen (Präparation von Mumien, Glaube an die verjüngende und regenerierende Wirkung dieser Substanzen) eine herausragende Rolle. Es ist daher nicht verwunderlich, dass eine sehr große Menge an Steinbehältern regelmäßig in den Heiligtümern oder in den Grabkomplexen deponiert wurde.

Article 1 :
The usual or occasional sellers of works of art or their representatives, as well as public or ministerial officers conducting a public auction shall, at the purchaser’s request, deliver him an invoice, receipt, sale slip or extract of official report of the public sale containing the specifications they have made as to the nature, composition, origin and age of the sold item.
Article 2 :
The denomination of a work of art or an item, and only when immediately followed by a reference to a historical period, a century or a time, guarantees the buyer that this work of art or item was actually produced during the reference period. When one or more parts of the work of art or item are made later, the purchaser must be informed.
Article 3 :
Unless it is accompanied by an express reservation on the authenticity, the indication that a work or an item bears the signature or the mark of an artist leads the guarantee that the artist mentioned is actually the author. The same effect is attached to the term “by” followed by the name of the author. This applies even when the name of the artist is immediately followed by the name or title of the work.
Article 4 :
The use of the term “attributed to” followed by the name of an artist guarantees that the work has been performed during the period of production of the mentioned artist and that there are strong presumptions which designate him or her as the likely author.
Article 5 :
The terms “workshop” followed by the name of an artist ensures that the work was executed in the master’s studio or under his direction. The mention of a workshop is necessarily followed by a mention of a specified period, in the case of a family workshop of several generations.
Article 6 :
The terms “school of” followed by the name of an artist leads to guarantee that the author of the work was the pupil of the master quoted and has notoriously been influenced or benefited from his technique.
These terms may only be applied to a work executed during the lifetime of the artist or in less than fifty years after the time of his death. When referring to a specific place, the use of the term “school of” ensures that the work was performed during the lifetime of the designated artistic movement whose period must be specified and by an artist who has taken part in this movement.
Article 7 :
The terms “in the taste of”, “style of”, “manner of”, “genre of”, “after”, confer no particular guarantee on the identity of the artist, date of work, or school.
Article 8 :
Any facsimile, molding, copy or other reproduction of a work of art or collectible item must be designated as such.
Article 9 :
Any facsimile, molding, copy or other reproduction of an original work of art within the meaning of Article 71 of Annex III of the General Tax Code, executed after the date of entry of this Decree, must be visibly and indelibly marked “Copy”.
Article 10 :
Anyone who violates the provisions of Articles 1 and 9 of this Decree shall be liable to fines planned for contraventions of the fifth class.
