Photograph of a small, triangular/hand-bowl–shaped ceramic vessel fragment with red painted decoration near the rim area.

The image shows a pottery vessel fragment photographed against a dark background. The object has a truncated triangular profile with an angled rim; the upper band near the rim contains a red painted motif or band. The rest of the surface appears orange-tan with minor abrasion and hairline cracks consistent with a broken archaeological sherd. No visible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions are apparent, and there is no visible Greek/Coptic/Arabic text. A museum label with a ruler scale is present in the photo, but any text there is not part of the artifact itself. No identifiable deity iconography is visible on the sherd; it appears purely utilitarian/painted with decorative coloring.
