Here's a description of the image:

The image features an ancient Egyptian alabastron, a type of vessel often used for storing perfumed oils or cosmetics. The alabastron is made from a light, yellowish-beige alabaster stone with a visible, subtly striated pattern suggesting the natural formation of the material.
