A greenish glass bottle with a narrow neck and rounded shoulders, shown front-on against a neutral background.
The image depicts a single vessel held upright. The bottle has a wide, bulbous body, a short narrow neck, and a slightly flared mouth rim. Two vertical handles/loop-like projections rise near the shoulder on both sides, suggesting a grasping feature. The glass is translucent with a green tint and visible surface irregularities and possible inclusions/striations; a faint scuffing or residue marks the body. No decorative painted scenes, relief work, or inscriptions are visible on the vessel surface. The mouth rim and neck are clear, with the top edge slightly uneven. Overall the object appears intact and museum-photographed, with no visible cartouches or hieroglyphs.
