Photograph of a small, barrel-shaped stone vessel standing upright in a display mount, with a rounded base and flat/planar top edge.
The image shows a cylindrical-to-barrel-shaped alabaster/stone vessel with a wider midsection tapering slightly toward a flat top. The surface is worn and mottled with discoloration and small stains; no clear painted decoration or relief carving is visible. A dark band-like area around the lower portion appears to be part of the mount or surface staining. No legible hieroglyphic inscription, Greek text, Coptic, or Arabic script is visible on the photographed face or edges. No cartouche or royal name can be identified. The overall form is consistent with a small perfume/ointment container type sometimes catalogued as an alabastron, but specific diagnostic features (e.g., stopper or carved ornament) are not clearly visible in this image.
