Object Description
A Late Roman mold-blown, translucent pale blue glass jug. The vessel features a hexagonal body which tapers to a cylindrical neck leading to a flared mouth with a folded rim. A single handle has been drawn and tooled, attached from the shoulder to the neck. When joining to the neck, the handle is wrapped around the neck to create a thick, horizontal ridge. The jug sits upon a concave base and a pontil mark is visible. The sides of the body have been mould-blown to display an array of geometric patterns. These include cross hatching, palm frond motifs and circles in lozenges.
Date: 4th-6th century AD
