A turquoise-green faience jug with a rounded body, vertical ribbing, and a single handle loop.
The image shows a ceramic/faience vessel in turquoise-green glaze, shaped like a jug or pitcher. The body is rounded with distinct vertical ridges (ribbing) running from the shoulder down to the base. The rim and upper neck form a slightly flared lip. A single C-shaped handle rises from the shoulder/upper body to the rim area. The surface glaze shows wear and small chips, and there are visible imperfections/crazing consistent with age and firing. No painted or incised decoration besides the molded ridges is clearly visible. There is no legible inscription, cartouche, or other text on the pictured surfaces; no Greek/Coptic/Arabic characters are visible.
