A White Cross-lined jar (Naqada I, ca. 3800-3600 BCE) only known from an unpublished photograph allows to recognise a scalping scene. Although scalping is attested at Hierakonpolis by osteological evidence, no depiction of the act itself was previously known. Scalping is to be seen as another aspect of the interpersonal violence regularly attested in Predynastic and Early Dynastic iconography. The scalp is considered a trophy and allows comparison with the cut-off mane of a Barbary sheep as a hunting trophy, attested on other vessels. This is to be regarded as another example of the parallelism between interpersonal violence and hunting. The relevance and significance of scalping and other aspects of violence are discussed in the context of possible historical settings.
