Cantimplora de Peregrino o "ampulla", de arcilla roja, de cuerpo circular aplastado que presenta en ambas caras decoración en relieve realizada a molde. En una de ellas, aparece San Menas de pie, con los brazos extendidos, vestido con un corto faldellín plisado y manto, que cae por la espalda. En el campo, motivos vegetales. 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.

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.
