Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

A small, reddish-brown ceramic pottery fragment shaped like part of a vessel rim/body is photographed against a dark background with a scale and museum label.

The image shows a single coarse ceramic fragment with a reddish-brown exterior and lighter interior surfaces, suggesting a broken vessel. The object is wedge-like and appears to include a curved edge consistent with a rim or side of a vessel. No painted decoration, relief, carved decoration, or hieroglyphic inscription is visible on the fragment. A photographic label with the text “MANCHESTER 1824” and additional museum/scale information is placed beneath the object, and a ruler with centimeter markings (0–5 cm visible) is included for scale. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text appears on the artifact itself; only the modern museum label and ruler are present.
