Photograph of a small broken terracotta vessel sherd on a dark background, shown above a museum label and a ruler scale.

The image shows a reddish-brown pottery fragment with a roughly curved surface and broken edges, consistent with a vessel body sherd. The visible surface is smooth to slightly rough with no clear painted decoration, inscriptions, or iconography discernible at this resolution. A white label with “MANCHESTER” and “1824” appears at the lower left, alongside a metric ruler marked in centimeters for scale. No Greek, Coptic, Arabic, or hieroglyphic text is visible on the artifact itself.
