The balls shown here are from
Ancient Egypt. They were made of glass and faience. All of the balls were made
at different times. The black and blue ball was made as an offering for the
goddess Hathor. It is hollow but looks like a basketball! The small blue one
was designed as a model of food. The smallest ball is just a marble from a game
during the Roman Period. It looks like the balls are big but they aren’t. The
black and blue one is only 4.4 cm tall! The marble ball is 1.8 cm tall. They
look like they’re 20-35 cm tall don’t they?
