BM 1856,1223.143

Tentatively I read Ḥ. Of the possible known abbreviations, "wheat" (ḤṬH) seems the only likely choice for a small shallow bowl; one could conceive of a ceremonial instance in which a bowl is dedicated to the dead for this purpose. Most other Ḥ abbreviations are only attested in Imperial Aramiac. Given the ductus and late date of the vessel, a linear Ḥ is the most likely reading. That said, one could read a poorly written K, in which case, "S(ilver)" may be the meaning. While this would be a fitting item for a tomb, the difficulty of overcoming the paleography rules againsts it at the moment (Moore).
