Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

A small, narrow-necked glass vessel (“bottle”) with a flared rim and a rounded bulbous body, shown against a light background.

The image depicts a single glass object standing upright. It has a thick, slightly flared mouth with a shallow opening, a narrow cylindrical neck, and a rounded, bulb-like body. The surface appears dark green to olive with weathering or residues and visible translucency/light refraction typical of glass; internal/reflective highlights are present along the neck and rim. A small paper label is placed at the lower left; it contains handwritten numbers/letters reading approximately “37.1644E” (exact characters unclear). No Egyptian hieroglyphs, cartouches, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic inscriptions are visible on the vessel itself. No deities or royal names are discernible.
