Photograph of a small, reddish-brown ceramic pottery vessel fragment shown on a dark background with a ruler for scale.

The image shows a broken fragment of a fired clay ceramic vessel. The surviving portion appears curved, suggesting a body sherd from a small container. The surface is reddish-brown with some lighter/grayish patches and tool/burnish marks; fine fabric texture and minor weathering are visible. No painted decoration, relief, or inscriptions are visible on the fragment. A paper label with the Manchester Museum logo and a metric scale (cm) is placed beneath the sherd for measurement. The object is therefore best described as a pottery vessel fragment consistent with a Predynastic-period ceramic sherd, though the exact form and any dating features cannot be securely determined from this single view.
