A picture of a cosmetic box in the shape of a duck with its head turned backward. The lid—broken in half, but repaired—swivels to open. It is made out of Hippopotamus Ivory.
The findspot is not indicated but it is considered to be a luxury item imported from Egypt and dated to the Late Bronze Age (1500–1200 BCE).
This object is on display at the Hecht Museum on the campus of the University of Haifa.
