(From info card)
"Ritual vessels known as hes-vases were commonly used in temple rituals of purification and in libations, or liquid offerings, which the priest poured to the gods. Their shape resembles the hieroglyph hes, which can mean 'to favor' or 'to praise.'" The glyph for 'water jar', heset, shows one of these vases with water streaming from it. |
