A small, plain ceramic/jar-like vessel fragment with one circular suspension/handle hole near the rim.
The image shows a light-colored, roughly ovoid jar with a rounded body and an irregular rim. On the upper left side there is a single circular hole, likely for attachment or suspension; the handle/loop is not fully preserved. The surface is undecorated and worn, with visible cracks and flaking that expose lighter interior areas. No painted decoration or carved relief is clearly visible. There are no legible hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic inscriptions visible on the photographed surfaces. The overall appearance is consistent with a stone vessel, but the exact material (e.g., indurated limestone) cannot be confirmed from the image alone.
