A small lidded faience jar with a rounded knob/handle on top, shown against a plain background.
The image shows a single small cylindrical jar made of turquoise-blue/green glazed faience. The jar has straight-ish sides and a separate lid; the lid top terminates in a rounded knob. The glaze is worn in places, with small specks and discolorations visible on the body and rim. No painted decoration, carved relief, or legible hieroglyphs are visible on the photographed surfaces. The lighting and angle emphasize the lid-to-body joint and the plain appearance of the vessel aside from the knob. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic inscriptions are apparent.
