Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

Woven basket and smaller basket components made of plant fibers, decorated with dark and blue/green dyed bands and a central geometric motif.

The image shows a large, shallow cylindrical basket with a flat rim and tightly woven sides, raised on supports. The basket is decorated with alternating colored bands (notably blue/greenish and dark) and a central, V-shaped/chevron-like geometric design at the front. Beneath/around it are two smaller, similarly woven pieces: one appears like a small coiled basket or lid-like element placed on its side, and another smaller fragment/half-basket element. No figural elements, deities, or cartouches are visible. No clear hieroglyphs or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text can be read on the object; the visible marks are decorative patterns rather than inscriptions. The weaving suggests palm/grass or similar reeds typical for baskets; exact material species cannot be confirmed from the image alone but it matches the catalogue’s stated plant-fiber construction.
