Object Description
A core-formed, ancient Greek, opaque glass aryballos with linear decoration. The vessel is composed of a large globular body leading to a squat, trumpet-style neck. The neck leads to a broad, inward sloping rim-disc. The base colour of the aryballos is a beautiful, opaque, powder blue. Opaque, yellow, linear patterns decorate the shoulders and top of the body. A zigzagging turquoise line sits beneath the yellow, decorating the mid-section of the flask. Two scrolled lug handles have been applied, connecting the rim to the body. The body sits on a rounded base. The body is decorated with vivid polychrome trails alternating stripes of bright yellow with a lighter blue zigzagging pattern , which stands out on the opaque, marine blue of the rest of the surface.
Date: Circa 6th-5th century BC
