Lipstick cap
Object/Artifact
Small white cylindrical cap, the detached closure of a lipstick. Flat circular top, straight sides, open underside (not imaged). The top face carries an incised cursive monogram — looping, intertwined script, possibly initials or a maker's logo — not legibly resolved. The body is plain. A short reddish streak on one side and small flecks elsewhere appear to be transferred product residue.

Plastic
Materials: White molded material, most consistent with plastic (tentative); milk/opal glass cannot be ruled out from images alone. Reddish residue on the surface, presumed cosmetic (lipstick) product. Technique: Molded (injection-molded plastic if plastic; pressed if glass) — to be confirmed by direct handling. The monogram appears incised into the top.
