These silver fragments are part of the "Tell Basta Treasure," found in 1906 at the site of Tell Basta. These particular objects are likely fragments from a shallow strainer that may have been used in a drinking service. (see 30.8.369 for a complete example). Ancient Egyptians would have used such strainers to filter out sediment from wine.
