Colourless blown glass beaker with cut figured decoration. The principal scene shows a man carving the Greek letter zeta representing the number 7 on a Nilometer, a round-topped column on which was recorded the year's flood of the Nile. On the other side a woman (possibly Isis) reclines before a temple.
Illustrated by Susan Bird for Harden et al. 1987 and Harden et al. 1968
