Abstract

Amphora-shaped vessel opens with a flared lip to admit a kohl stick. Two cm. below the lip is a slight shoulder ridge. Below the ridge, the vessel tapers to a rounded point. Just below the shoulder, a loop was attached on either side. One loop has broken away. The kohl stick is 7.9 cm. long with a small knob at the upper end and a rounded point at the other. An embellishment may have been broken away from the upper end. The stick fits closely in the neck of the vessel and extends 0.4 cm above the lip of the vessel.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a copper tool and its storage vessel. The vessel has a rounded, narrow opening at its top and tapers to a rounded point at its far end. A small handle or ring is seen just under the vessel's opening. The tool itself is inserted into the top of the vessel and its rounded top can be seen sticking out of it. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
