Stone vessel, Königsberg provenance, repossession Frombork; Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. Ritual stone vessel with a quadrangular bottom and an almost cylindrical body profiled below the rim. The vessel is supported by a small, round foot. 332–30 BC; Ptolemaic Period one should also consider the possibility that this vessel is not very early — J. Velvet. Egypt, vessel. Height 8.8 cm; width 10 cm; weight 0.63 kg., A rounded cup-like object with a slightly flared rim and a small rounded base sits centered against a smooth background, its surface showing a dense mottled pattern of black and white with areas of gray where the two mix; the rim has subtle horizontal ridges and the overall shape tapers gently toward the base, casting a soft shadow beneath.
