Object Description
An ancient Roman pilgrim flask, finely blown in pale green translucent glass. The vessel features an everted rim, folded over and in, which has been flattened, forming a slight constriction to the mouth. This is followed by a cylindrical neck with tooled indents tapering in at the shoulder. The upper body expands downwards to a flat spherical lentoid body with rounded edges and a thick internal pad on the bottom. Delicate bubbles are suspended in the translucent glass from the blowing process.
The flask is accompanied with a custom-made stand.
Date: Circa 4th Century AD
