A small green glass bowl with a rounded base and flared rim, photographed against a light background.

The image shows a single vessel: a shallow bowl made of green translucent glass. The bowl has a slightly thickened, rounded base and an outward-flaring rim. Reflections of studio lighting appear as bright highlights on the inner surface. No visible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or painted/inscribed decoration can be seen on the bowl’s exterior or interior. There is no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text visible. No deity iconography is present; the object appears purely utilitarian or decorative without inscriptions.
