Photograph of a small, broken terracotta pottery vessel sherd shown lying on a dark background with a museum scale/ruler in the foreground.

The image shows a single pottery fragment: a reddish-brown to light tan clay surface with no visible decoration, relief, or paint. Only part of the vessel body is present (appears to be a sherd with an irregular outline), and no rim, handle, or distinct form is clearly identifiable from this fragment. A measuring scale label reading “MANCHESTER” and “The University of Manchester / The Manchester Museum” with centimeter markings is placed along the bottom edge for size reference. No hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible on the artifact itself; the only readable text is the museum label on the scale.
