    "description": "This small cosmetic vessel is carved with an openwork frieze of heraldic birds flanking a cartouche with the name \"King's daughter, Nubet-meryt.\" Meretnubt was a daughter of King Thutmose I (1504-1492 BCE). Separating the two heraldic groups are two snakes flanking a column. Above the openwork frieze is carved a series of alternating open and closed lotus flowers which ring the neck of the vessel. The glaze is particularly green in appearance.",
