A small rectangular box with a lid, crafted from a blue-green material.
The artifact is a small, rectangular box with a fitted lid, made from faience, a glazed non-clay ceramic material. It exhibits a blue-green hue, characteristic of Egyptian faience. The box is simply designed, possibly used for holding small items, and the lid features two raised knobs for easy removal. The overall condition suggests it is an authentic piece rather than a modern replica.
