A small, shallow glass bowl with an olive-green tint, photographed from the side on a light background.

The image shows a single vessel identified by the museum catalog as a bowl. It appears as a hemispherical, shallow receptacle with a rounded rim that flares slightly outward. The bowl is mounted on a short, circular foot/base with a slightly thicker, domed underside. The glass is translucent and has an overall greenish/olive hue. Lighting reflections are visible across the curved surfaces, including bright highlights on the inner well and outer wall. A small rectangular label card with handwritten marks is placed beneath the object; the handwriting is not clearly readable from the provided image. No Egyptian hieroglyphs, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are visible on the bowl itself, and no cartouches or royal names can be identified. No depicted deities are present.
