Photograph of a small shallow bowl with a ring-like rim and a short pedestal base, shown in side view against a light background.

The image depicts a glass vessel catalogued as a bowl. The bowl has a broad circular rim and a shallow interior, with a transparent or translucent surface reflecting light. Beneath the bowl is a short, thick stem/pedestal that widens at the base. Around the pedestal/base area there appears to be faint decorative markings, but they are not clear enough to confidently identify as specific hieroglyphs or other scripts. No distinct cartouches, royal titulary, or identifiable deity iconography is visible. The object appears to be a museum photograph with no additional inscriptions readable.
