Beaker, unknown Northern Mesopotamian workshop; hand-made, asymmetrical miniature cup on a stem terminating in a flat, round foot. The cup's bulbous bowl is inclined inwards and terminates with a diagonally protruding, low rim. Clay vessel; miniature cup on stem. 1st half of the 3rd millennium BC — Early Jazira III period Early Dynastic III; ca. 2600–ca. 2350 BC. Tell Jassa el Gharbi North-Eastern Syria; Northern Mesopotamia Khabur basin. Weight: 256 g., A roughly rounded ceramic vessel with a narrow flared neck and a pedestal base fills the image, showing a weathered, textured surface in shades of tan, beige, light brown, and off-white with patches of darker brown and subtle grayish tones; the vessel has irregularities and small pits in the clay, a slightly uneven rim, a few small chips and rough edges, and a visible hollow interior that appears darker than the exterior; the background is a uniform medium gray.
