jug

This jug, made of silver and gold, looks like a pomegranate with a golden handle in the shape of a goat. The goat's legs give the impression of movement.

Around the jug is a decoration of hearts, perhaps as a sign of protection.

After the hearts there are hieroglyphic texts that may be magical spells for drinking or to purify the contents of the jug.
