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 shallow metal bowl with a flared rim and an incised decorative band around the lower body, featuring a rosette-like motif on a raised base area.

The image shows a small, silver-toned bowl/brazier form with a thickened, slightly out-turned rim. The vessel body has a rounded belly that narrows toward a concave base ring. Around the mid-to-lower section there is an incised decorative register: a repeating pattern incorporating rosette/flower-like elements and leaf or petal forms. No readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or letters are visible on the surface in the provided view. The background is a neutral studio setting; the object is photographed front-on with even lighting that highlights the incised lines and surface texture consistent with cast or hammered metal.
