A small dark-blue glass vessel with a yellow banding detail and applied loop handles, photographed against a plain background.
The object appears to be a short amphora- or jug-like glass vessel. It has a rounded body, two opposing loop handles/strap-like projections, and a narrow neck. Multiple horizontal yellow bands ring the upper neck and mid-body. A diagonal yellow line or stripe decoration is visible across part of the front. Near the base, the vessel shows a small protruding foot-like element. A label with handwritten text “12.33” is attached to the stand/board below the object; no other legible script is visible on the artifact itself. No clear molded hieroglyphs or inscriptions are apparent from this image.
