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.Or might be a filtering device for beer or wine.
Note that copper cone shaped devices from New Kingdom Coptos are thought to be filtering devices used with a strainer to stop bits in beer or wine being swallowed.
