We’ve been deceived! How about a banana, for scale, next time OP? If that’s 3.5 inches (10.5 barley corns), then it’s girth (lol) or more properly diameter, is about 3/4" (just over 2 barley corns).
Well, it could likely be a Persian cucumber, given that it’s from Egypt. Those are about exactly that size when they’re harvested. On the other hand, they have a more even shape compared to the one here. 🤷♂️
I’m going to imagine that cucumbers may have gone thru some changes since 1850BC - sheesh that seems like a long time ago. How cool is that, tho’, that we are discussing a nearly 4000 year old artifact!
