Covered with an engobe mixed with red ochre and thoroughly polished; red color. Well-preserved with slight clay damage on the rim. Function: vessel. Comparative typology links to Old Kingdom and late 6th Dynasty pottery 4th–6th Dynasty. Dimensions: height 15.1 cm; lip diameter 27.6 cm; bottom diameter 11.8 cm; weight 1.3 kg., A terracotta-colored, conical clay pot with a flared rim sits against a smooth gray background; the pot shows a textured surface with small pale speckles and slight irregularities in the earthy orange-brown clay, and the lighting creates soft shadows beneath and to the sides, highlighting the pot’s rounded lip and tapering base.
