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 small black-ware ceramic vessel with an elongated neck and a single side handle, resembling a miniature juglet or ewer.
The image shows a pottery object photographed against a neutral gray background. The vessel has a rounded globular body, a narrow cylindrical neck that flares slightly at the top, and a dark, smooth fabric consistent with black ware. A single C-shaped handle extends from the upper body area to the neck region. No surface decoration, relief, or applied motifs are clearly visible. The form appears intact from this angle, though minor surface wear and discoloration are visible near the body and handle junctions. There is no readable hieroglyphic/Greek/Coptic/Arabic text present on the visible surfaces, and no cartouche or royal name is apparent. No deities are depicted.
