A small green-glazed kneeling female figurative vessel with a rounded head and stylized facial features, holding an object/bowl in both hands.
The image shows a ceramic/stone vessel formed in the shape of a kneeling woman. The figure has a stylized, symmetrical face with arched brows and a small mouth, and wears a close-fitting head covering/biar-like headdress. The woman kneels with her torso upright; one arm is bent so that both hands extend forward holding a circular basin/utensil shape at the front. The body is rendered with incised/raised decorative lines across the chest and a patterned garment effect over the lap. The vessel has a wide, rounded top opening and a globular belly; a darkened rim suggests where the opening is. The overall surface is uniformly coated in a green glaze with darker pooled areas and uneven gloss, consistent with a glazed steatite object. No clear hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or alphabetic inscriptions are visible on the figure in this view.
