     A painted limestone 'Beer Making Woman Sculpture' (2494-2345 BC; Old Kingdom; 5th Dynasty), found in Tomb of Meresankh III which is a short walk east of Great Pyramid, Giza, Egypt.

     This figurine is presented in act of making beer, kneading dough in a strainer over a large jar. Beer was brewed in a large jar using fermented barley bread sprayed with palm liquor. When fermented, beer was flowing through a hole near bottom of jar.
