A terracotta/pottery vessel with a tall neck, a single side handle, and small suspension holes on two projections near the shoulders.
The image shows a handmade pottery vessel photographed against a neutral background. The object has a rounded body, a narrower cylindrical neck flaring slightly at the top rim, and a single loop/strap handle attached to the upper body area. On each side of the upper body/shoulder region there are small outward projections with visible perforations (suspension holes), consistent with attachment points for suspension or hanging. The surface is worn and dusty with minor chips and abrasions; no painted decoration is clearly visible. No hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text appears on the visible surfaces, and there are no identifiable carved cartouches or royal names. No deities are depicted; the form is utilitarian.
