As archaeological remains have proven, the Upper Nubian site Sai Island played an important role during the Egyptian conquest in the early New Kingdom. The Pharaonic town, a fortified settlement on the eastern bank of the island, allows an analysis of the domestic life and the religious beliefs of the Egyptian and Nubian inhabitants. Among the large quantity of New Kingdom finds are so-called Nun bowls, a unique group of faience vessels associated with regeneration and fertility. This paper examines the excavated fragments and their distribution in the different sectors of the settlement as well as their diverse decorative motifs and functions.
Keywords: Sai Island, Nubia, faience, Nun bowls, New Kingdom, settlement
