Pilgrim's water bottle, made from red clay. It has a flattened circular body, which on both sides presents a decoration in relief made with a mould. On one side Saint Menas is shown standing with outstretched arms, wearing a short pleated skirt and a cloak which falls on his back. In the field, vegetal motifs. Flanking the figure are two camels, encircled by an inscription in Greek. On the other side the decoration is similar, although it has sustained more damage, with the same iconography.

Flanqueando la figura hay dos camellos con una  inscripción en griego alrededor.En la otra cara, la decoración es similar, pero más desgastada e igual descripción.
