Very long, paracylindrical bread mould. The bottom is flat and perforated, the orifice a simple continuation of the body. The clay is coarse, beige-orange, with various sorts of temper, and has been smoothened. Dozens of bread moulds were found at Mirgissa/Iken, either stacked near hearths before firing or broken, like this particular one, as most often the mould needed to be broken in order to extract the bread loaf from it.

Moule à pain très long, paracylindrique. Le fond est plat et perforé, l'ouverture simple dans le prolongement. La pâte est grossière, beige orangé, à dégraissant varié, lissée. On a retrouvé à Mirgissa/Iken des dizaines de moules à pain, soit empilés à proximité des foyers avant la cuisson, soit brisés comme celui-ci car il fallait souvent casser le moule pour sortir le pain.
