A small greenish glass bowl with a flared rim and a short pedestal base, photographed against a light background. No clear iconography or inscriptions are visible on the vessel itself.

The image shows a single vessel identified visually as a glass bowl: a shallow, slightly flared bowl with a smooth rim. The bowl sits on a short cylindrical stem/pedestal that expands into a flat, rounded base. The glass appears semi-translucent green. A museum label card is visible near the bottom left with handwritten text that is not legible in full from this image. No hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text appears on the bowl; there are no clear deities or royal names/cartouches visible.
