Blue Lotus Chalice

This faience vessel depicts the blue lotus, actually a fragrant water lily much loved by the Egyptians. Because its petals opened at sunrise and closed again at night, this flower was associated with life eternally renewed by the rays of the sun. 

New Kingdom, mid-18th Dynasty, ca. 1475-1350 BC. Collection of the Cincinnati Art Museum.
