A small, bulbous glass flask with a narrow neck and flared rim, photographed against a neutral background with a label bearing the number “16. 11/4”.
The image shows a compact glass vessel (catalogued as a “Flask”) with a globular body that tapers into a slender neck; the neck ends in a slightly widened, rounded rim. The glass appears translucent with a greenish tint typical of some ancient glass. No painted decoration, relief, or inscriptions are visible on the vessel’s surface. Beneath the flask is a rectangular white museum label with handwritten marking reading “16. 11/4” (exact formatting as shown). No Egyptian hieroglyphs, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are visible on the artifact itself. No identifiable deity or royal name/cartouche is present.
