A reddish-brown Nile silt ware vessel features a flat, bag-shaped body with a wide, arched handle. At the handle's peak, a short cylindrical neck holds a rough, brown stopper. Dark painted lines encircle the neck and accentuate the joints connecting the handle to the body. The smooth, polished surface is speckled with tiny dark spots, while simple line patterns mark the handle's base against the warm, burnished finish.
