A weathered glass vessel with a bulbous body and short, narrow neck topped with a flared rim. The dark gray surface is heavily pitted and encrusted with earthy brown residue and faint iridescence. A thick, raised zigzag band of glass wraps around the body, while a single horizontal ridge defines the shoulder. Its worn, textured exterior indicates significant age, reflecting the artifact's ancient archaeological history.
