'Kohl' tube in the form of a a palm-column. The hollow shaft is of translucent dark-blue glass, with its baseoutlined with a yellow thread. The lower body is decorated with two lines of chevrons in white and turquoise-blue. A turquoise-blue thread encircles the upper shaft six times. White threads outline the individual elements of the palm-leaf capital while the rim of the opening has a single turquoise-blue thread. The core is red-brown and retains faint traces of a fabric pattern. A slight chip on the capital is the sole damage. A wooden 'kohl'-applicator accompanies the object.
