A small, broken terracotta pottery vessel sherd is shown against a dark background with a scale label at the bottom.

The image depicts a reddish-brown pottery fragment (vessel sherd) photographed on a dark surface. The piece is thick and block-like with a flat-ish exterior face; due to breakage, the rim or full vessel shape is not visible. No surface decoration, painted elements, or inscriptions are clearly visible on the fragment. A ruler with centimeter markings and a museum label reading “MANCHESTER 1824” appear beneath the sherd; these are modern/photographic elements rather than part of the artifact. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is present, and no hieroglyphic writing can be identified on the sherd.
