AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano
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.
The image shows a small, narrow, club-shaped alabastron-style vessel with a flared rim and a pointed base. A circular inventory/marking label is painted on the body reading “R.G. 23” in black.
A single object is centered against a plain light background. The vessel is vertically oriented and tapers from a wider shoulder to a narrow rounded base; the top has a slightly flared rim. The surface appears pale yellowish/cream with mottled discoloration and minor spotting consistent with a stone/resin/ceramic body (exact material uncertain). No painted figurative scenes or ornamentation are visible besides a black circular marking containing the text “R.G.” and the number “23”. No hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other script are clearly present. The cataloged type is an “alabastron,” which matches the general bottle-like, narrow-bodied form, and there is no clear visual contradiction.
