Flask with Saint Minas 20098-10
This is one of the flasks that contain holy water from the Monastery of Saint Minas, who was beheaded for confessing his Christian faith, in Maryut. On one side is a decoration of Saint Minas in Greek clothing.

The face has the wide-set eyes commonly seen in Coptic portraiture. A circle surrounds the saint in which is inscribed in Coptic "A blessing from Saint Minas." On the other side is an ornamental circle.
