This golden bowl from the reign of King Psusennes the First of the Twenty-First Dynasty, is inscribed with the name of Undjebauendjed, who was an army general of that period.

The artifact is decorated in the center with a cloisonne, polychrome glass paste flower from which 23 grooves radiate.

It is thought that the central pattern represents the unification of the Two Lands by combining the emblems of papyrus and lotus that are the two symbols of Upper and Lower Egypt.
