A small vase-like ancient Egyptian vessel with a lid.
The artifact is a small, translucent vessel with a round, bulbous body and a short, slightly flared neck. It is topped with a flat, disc-like lid that appears to fit snugly atop the opening. The material gives the vessel an opalescent, glowing appearance, indicating it may be made of alabaster or a similar stone often used in ancient Egyptian artifacts.
