It's very old - it's 4" long - the inside of the bowl has a 4 panel Hieroglyphic design - I have no idea what exactly it says. The top of the handle I believe is Kind Tut holding a staff. I've had this piece for 30+ years picking it up in Egypt early 90's from a small antiquities shop. It does have the Egyptian stamp on the backside - it's small but there. Delicate details to this one - I've made no attempt to polish this piece but will include a new polishing cloth when shipped. Very interesting piece.
