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.

Photograph shows a small translucent glass bowl with a thick rim on a light background, with a handwritten label placed beneath it.

The image depicts a single vessel held upright for viewing. The bowl is transparent/translucent and appears greenish due to the glass tint. It has a wide, slightly flared rim and a rounded bowl body narrowing into a short, stem-like base or foot. There are no visible painted designs, relief work, or inscriptions on the vessel surface. A small white paper label with handwritten characters is visible on the background below the bowl; no Greek/Coptic/Arabic/printed text is apparent on the object itself. The object visually matches a glass bowl despite uncertainty about exact archaeological context.
