A tapered vessel fragment of turquoise faience features a bright, glossy glaze mottled with dark blue spots and earthy brown deposits. Several groups of thin, raised ridges wrap around its cylindrical form, creating a textured surface that tapers toward a broken edge. Small pits and irregular chips mark the finish, while shadows define the deep grooves between the horizontal bands.
