Faience biconical container with horizontal decorative bands and painted/relief-like bichrome motifs, including seated Bes-like figures and floral/starburst elements.

The object is a small faience vessel with a rounded biconical body and a narrow neck. A small loop/handle-like element is visible near the upper body/neck. The surface is decorated with multiple horizontal zones separated by darker bands. Within these zones are repeated motif elements: several starburst or rosette-like floral forms in pale/white lines, and at least one central zone showing a Bes-like deity-like figure (arms/legs and a face-like element) rendered in a stylized manner. Colors appear predominantly turquoise/blue-green with darker outlines and lighter (cream/white) decorative lines; there are no clearly legible inscriptions visible on the provided image. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is apparent.
