Metal cup with a small upward-curving handle/loop on one side and an open bowl form.
The object is a shallow, open-ended metal vessel (cup/bowl) with a slightly flaring rim. A single handle extends from the upper body on the left side, curving upward and ending in a pointed/rounded tip. The surface shows dark oxidation and wear consistent with age; several pitted areas and losses are visible along the bowl’s body, including a large damaged area near the upper interior/side. No decorative relief or iconography is clearly visible from this image. No readable hieroglyphs or other script are visible, and no cartouches or royal names appear.
