This vessel, which resembles a wild duck, would have served the purpose of a cosmetic vessel. The base is carved with an ankh symbol in low relief and the movable lid is fastened by a bone pin, its edges inlaid with a band of bone plaques. The ivory rings on the neck and the head are probably from a different cosmetic container of the same time period. For a similar vessel, cf. no. 118 in J. Vandier d'Abbadie, Les Objets de toilette égyptiens au Musée du Louvre, Paris, 1972.
