Photograph of a small green glass jug with a rounded body, short neck, and a single handle with traces of green and white surface encrustation.
The artifact is a diminutive jug-like vessel photographed against a neutral background. It has a globular/ovoid body, a short cylindrical neck capped by a slightly flared mouth, and one side handle that loops from the neck region down toward the shoulder. The surface shows weathering and residue/encrustation, including areas of lighter (whitish) deposits and overall patina consistent with long-term preservation or soil residues. No painted decoration or applied inscriptions are clearly visible. A small rectangular label is placed beneath the object; it contains handwritten/printed inventory-like markings that are not legible as hieroglyphs. There are no visible hieroglyphic cartouches, deity figures, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text on the vessel itself.
