AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano

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.

A translucent green glass bowl or footed vessel shown in three-quarter view on a light background.

The image depicts a small, round, open vessel with a flared rim and a short, concave stem/foot. The glass is translucent and olive-green in color. The interior and exterior are smooth with no clearly visible painted decoration or relief. Bright reflections on the rim and bowl suggest a polished surface. A small white label card is placed beneath the bowl; it contains handwritten numerals, which appear to include “10-102.6” (exact characters are unclear). No hieroglyphs, cartouches, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text are visible on the object itself. No identifiable deities or royal names are present.
