Photograph of a small, translucent greenish glass bowl with a flared rim and narrow stem/base on a light background.

The image shows a single glass vessel centered in frame. It has a wide, shallow bowl with a thickened, rounded rim. Beneath the bowl is a tapered stem that widens into a circular base. The glass appears olive-green/translucent with surface highlights from lighting; no painted decoration, inscriptions, or relief are visible on the exterior. A small white label with handwritten marks is present at the bottom edge of the photo, but it is not clearly legible as any Egyptian or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text. No hieroglyphs, cartouches, or identifiable deities appear in the photograph.
