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, greenish glass vessel fragment shaped like the body of a miniature bottle with a narrow neck and rounded shoulder.

The image shows a single small object on a light fabric background. The fragment appears to be part of a miniature bottle: it has a rounded body with a slight taper toward a narrow neck opening, and a short, irregular rim edge. The material looks like translucent greenish glass with a weathered surface and minor chips. Beneath the object is a white paper label bearing handwritten numerals; no clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or maker’s inscriptions are visible on the artifact itself. No identifiable deity figures are present, and the fragment is purely utilitarian/container-shaped.
