Photograph of a small painted Egyptian object resembling a box or casket with stylized relief decoration and a vertical element ending in a head-like finial.
The image shows a compact, rectangular base with painted decoration along the front edge, topped by a vertical, cylindrical column. The column is painted light blue-green and carries a central framed area with red and darker pigments, while the upper end forms a head-like finial (suggestive of an animal or stylized figure). On the left side of the base is a small block or lid element painted tan with darker marks forming a face motif. The front of the base has bands of painted pseudo-hieroglyphic or ornamental motifs in red and black with greenish underlayers; however the individual signs are not clear enough to confidently identify specific hieroglyphs or spell a legible inscription. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No royal cartouches are clearly discernible.
