Cosmetic Vessel (Cylinder Beaker)
https://clevelandart.org/art/1914.813
Jars of this shape and material are common in Middle Kingdom tombs. This one, however, is inscribed with the Egyptian word merhet, which means "perfumed oil," and after thousands of years it still has traces of sweet-smelling resin.
