Painted pottery vessel fragment with alternating light blue and vertical reddish-pink bands, plus a red handwritten inventory/registration number on the underside.
The image shows a small, broken rim/body portion of a ceramic vessel. The exterior surface is painted in decorative bands: wide light-blue fields separated by vertical reddish-pink bands, arranged in a repeating pattern along the visible length. The bottom edge is stained with a darker red wash. On the lower face/edge there is a clearly painted red numeral-like marking reading “2006.273” (exact punctuation uncertain but the sequence of digits appears as 2006.273). No carved or painted Egyptian hieroglyphs, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are visible. No cartouches or royal names are present. No deities are depicted.
