A silver vessel with a rounded body and a tall, narrow neck resembling a long-necked jar.
The image shows a single standalone metal jar centered on a neutral gray background. The vessel has a broad, rounded/pear-shaped body, a relatively short shoulder, and a tall, narrow neck that flares slightly at the top rim. The surface is silvery with visible scuffs, dark speckling, and minor spots consistent with age or wear. No painted decoration or relief scenes are visible, and there are no clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions on the visible faces. The top rim is plain and slightly irregular; the base is not visible beyond the rounded lower contour. No identifiable deities or royal names appear. The object is consistent in form with the catalogue’s designation as a “Long-necked jar,” though the exact material (silver) is visually plausible but not independently confirmable beyond the appearance.
