This image displays a weathered and ancient-looking artifact, likely a small clay flask or vial with notable features. It has a round body with two symmetrical looped handles extending from the shoulder to the neck. The top appears to have a short, conical neck with a slightly flared rim that may have been used as the opening.

The flask is decorated with a raised circular medallion on one side. Within this medallion, a worn and barely discernible relief seems to depict an ancient motif or figure. The details are smoothed out, possibly due to age and erosion, but it appears to be an ancient depiction, perhaps of a human or deity.

The earthenware flask has a rough, tactile texture with visible signs of aging, such as discoloration and surface irregularities, implying significant historical value and antiquity.
