Jug, A small clay jug without a handle with a biconical body, widest at about half its height. Broad, rather flat shoulders; a separately shaped neck glued to the shoulders, wide and almost cylindrical, about one-third of the vessel's height and widening slightly toward the profiled spout. The spout is irregular, sloping down on one side and extending to form a small pointed lip; in cross-section it is roughly triangular with an approximately 1 mm central indentation on the outer profile. Bottom almost flat, very slightly rounded. Made of Nile clay NB1/2? per Vienna System. Outer surface and inner rim/neck are smoothed and covered with an engobe; remaining inner surface smoothed. Color red-brown. Nearly complete with a small fragment of the rim missing; outer surface slightly worn in places. Probably Old Kingdom 4th–6th Dynasty, c. 2686–2181 BC. Vessel; height 11.4 cm; rim dia. 5.5 cm; shoulder dia. 10.8 cm; bottom dia. 7.1 cm., A weathered clay vessel with a rounded body and a narrow neck topped by a broken rim sits against a plain background; the vessel's surface is rough with small pits and irregularities, showing earthy tones of reddish-brown with flecks of lighter beige and occasional darker brown spots, and subtle variations in texture where the rim is chipped and the body shows wear.
