A dark stone ancient Egyptian jug with a narrow neck, rounded body, and a loop handle extending from the mid-body to the neck.
The image shows a single small jug (pitcher) photographed against a light background. The jug has a thick, circular rim and a short, narrow neck with an expanded collar zone at the top of the body. The body is rounded/ovoid with a slightly stepped base. A single C-shaped handle rises from the shoulder area and attaches near the neck, forming a loop. The surface is dark gray to black with a fine speckled/veined texture consistent with a polished stone. No carved decoration or pigment is visible at this resolution. No clear hieroglyphic inscriptions, cartouches, or textual marks are visible on the jug. No deities are depicted.
