A small dark ceramic jug with a rounded shoulder and narrow neck, sealed/tied with fibrous cloth at the opening.
The image shows a compact jar/jug form with a bulbous body, short neck, and rounded lip. The surface is dark and uneven, consistent with fired pottery. At the mouth/opening, a bundle of fibrous material is tied around/over the neck; the fibers appear straw- or linen-like (light tan) and form a rosette-like knot. A thin light-colored rim/strip appears to encircle the body where it meets the base stand, but no clear painted decoration or inscriptions are visible. No cartouches, legible hieroglyphs, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text can be read in the photograph.
