Object Description
A beautiful Roman cosmetic flask, possibly a kohl tube, in translucent turquoise glass. The vessel sits on a thick flattened base and features a long cylindrical body with slightly concave walls. The elegant neck leads up to a folded, everted rim. Two wavy ribbon handles, each featuring three loops, have been applied to either side. The vessel leans back slightly and displays a glass fold where the flask seemingly yielded under its own weight before the glass fully hardened. The base displays a pontil mark.
Date: Circa 4th Century AD
