A cylindrical alabaster (calcite) jar with a rounded rim, photographed against a plain background.
The image shows a tall, narrow, cylindrical jar with a slightly flared/rounded rim and a smooth, polished surface. The body appears uninscribed or any markings are too faint to read at this resolution. Color variation and minor surface abrasions/striations are visible, consistent with stone wear. No legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or figural decoration are visible on the jar. The overall form and material match the catalogue’s identification as an alabaster jar from the Old Kingdom Saqqara area (Djoser’s pyramid complex), though the image does not show any explicit royal name to confirm it visually.
