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.
Photograph of a small, cylindrical object with an open top, resembling a wooden container or box fragment.
The image shows a compact, dark, cylindrical container viewed from above and slightly from the front. The top opening is circular and appears hollow, with the interior noticeably darker than the exterior. The outer surface has shallow, irregular banding/striations and wear consistent with a turned or carved wood object. No painted decoration, figures, or clearly legible inscriptions are visible. There is no evidence of a cartouche, deity iconography, or hieroglyphic text in the visible area. The object is consistent in general form with a small container that could be catalogued as a toilet box, though the photo does not show any explicit toilet-related contents.
