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.
