A circular metal bowl rimmed with silver-like decoration, featuring an inner medallion filled with detailed, marsh-like relief imagery and surrounding patterned bands of hieroglyphic-like motifs.

The object appears to be a shallow, round bowl photographed from above. The outer surface is dark and glossy, while the interior is framed by a raised band of silver-colored metal. Within the inner field there is a central, circular medallion with dense linear and patterned decoration that resembles plant stems and water/lotus or marsh vegetation scenes. Around the medallion are additional raised border elements and a band of small repeated motifs along the rim that could be decorative bands with hieroglyphic-like forms, though the individual signs are not clearly legible at this resolution. No clearly readable Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No explicit royal cartouche is discernible. The overall appearance is consistent with a silver bowl with decorative scene work, but the exact marsh-scene details cannot be verified precisely from the image alone.
