Today is Super Bowl Sunday, and here at Glencairn we have our very own Super Bowl! The bowl, carved in black granite, is perhaps the most remarkable object in Glencairn’s Egyptian collection. Used to receive liquid offerings to the gods, it dates to the  New Kingdom (1539-1075 BC). Read all about it in this Glencairn Museum News article from 2017: https://bit.ly/2S6emjs
