    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!
