Ancient Egyptian tubular socket from Sesebi Upper Nubia dated 1550 – 1295 BC

Tapered tubular socket, made of sheet metal with horizontal ribbed decoration bent round and pressed together to form a tube. Used on the end of a wooden shaft as decoration or to help to secure a tanged fitting. Traces of gilding remain on the exterior. Probably from the staff of a temple priest, or image of a deity for ritual use. Broken at the wider end and damaged at the tapered end.
Copped cone shaped devices found at New Kingdom Coptos have been identified as filtering devices used with a strainer to stop bits in beer and wine from being swallowed.
