Jug with a handle in the form of a goat

This jug looks like a pomegranate with a golden handle in the shape of a goat. The goat’s legs give the impression of movement. Around the jug is a decoration of hearts, perhaps as a sign of protection. After the hearts there are hieroglyphic texts that may be magical spells for drinking or to purify the contents of the jug.

From Tell-Basta (Bubastis). Reign of Ramesses II. New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, ca. 1279-1213 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
