The rim of this small faience bottle is missing, and the decoration not very clear. Three narrow registers of vegetal (?) ornament, the top one apparently garlands, lie below the rim. Most of the body is covered with a woven pattern.

An exhibit at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Met collection of ancient Egyptian art consists of approximately 30,000 objects of artistic, historical, and cultural importance, dating from about 300,000 BCE to the 4th century CE. A signifcant percentage of the collection is derived from the Museum's three decades of archaeological work in Egypt, initiated in 1906 in response to increasing interest in the culture of ancient Egypt.
