Photograph of a small, plain cylindrical storage jar/cup with a rounded rim, made of light-colored stone or alabaster and showing age-related wear and stains.
The image shows a single vessels viewed front-on against a neutral gray background. The vessel has a thick, rounded rim and a straight-sided cylindrical body that slightly narrows toward the base. The surface is mostly smooth with subtle tool marks and scattered small pits. There are discolorations and stains near the rim and body, and a few tiny chips or losses are visible along the edges. No painted decoration, relief carving, or clear sculpted scene is visible. No legible hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is apparent on the visible surface. The general form is consistent with a small container that could be used for oil or similar liquids, but there are no inscriptions visible that would allow direct confirmation of the catalogued attribution to Senwosret (?).
