Summary/Abstract: The knobbed bowls are a rare kind of pottery assigned by W. M. F. Petrie to F(ancy) group. This very limited in number collection often was connected with ritual or mortuary context. Its exceptional and unparalleled in Egypt form orders scholars to look for the roots of such style abroad. Another region where vessels of this type are far more common is southern Levant. In this paper the author will show the link between knobbed pottery from Naqadan context in Egypt with species of Levantine origin.
