Famous Egyptian bottles light brown in colour (5)
I believe the answer is:
mouse
'light brown in colour' is the definition.
(as in mousey hair)
'famous egyptian bottles' is the wordplay.
'bottles' indicates a hidden word (bottling is a kind of containing).
'MOUSE' is hidden within 'famous egyptian'.
(Other definitions for mouse that I've seen before include "shy and timid type" , "One sitting by computer" , "Small verminous rodent" , "Computer accessory" , "See 1 down" .)
