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 jug with a narrow neck, rounded body, and a single handle; no visible inscriptions or iconography.

The image shows a small handheld vessel made of green-tinted glass. It has a short, slightly flared rim at the top, a narrow neck leading to a bulbous rounded body, and a single loop handle attached to the neck and shoulder. The glass appears semi-translucent with an overall olive-green color and light surface marks/scratches. A small label card is visible near the base but the text on it is not legible. No Egyptian hieroglyphs, cartouches, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are visible on the jug itself.
