Photograph of a clear glass bowl with a rounded rim and conical foot, photographed against a light background.

The image shows a single glass bowl. The rim is wide and slightly everted, with a smooth, translucent body tapering toward a small, narrow stem/foot. A faint circular/base area is visible, suggesting a stand or footed form. There are no clearly legible carved or painted hieroglyphs on the visible exterior. A small, low-contrast marking appears near the center of the base/underside but is not clearly identifiable as hieroglyphic or any known script. No decorative relief, figures, or cartouches are visible. The object appears intact but with minor surface wear consistent with excavation/handling; overall visibility is good enough to identify material and form.
