Vase, bulbous with short flaring neck. Severe loss of surface to object, appears to reveal yellow underpaint. Numerous termite holes visible across object. Possible dowel hole on top, termite hole on underside. This is one of a number of objects that have previously been catalogued under a single entry: 'E.172.1903'. The collection of items all appear to derive from funerary models, and are each elements found within individual scenes, but they are not from the same model, and possibly do not derive from a single site.
