Object Description
A small ancient Roman jug mould-blown from dark aubergine glass. The vessel features an ovoid body resembling an anthropomorphic head with finely moulded detailing, including the facial features and curly hair represented by the raised knobbly surface. Above the head is a short cylindrical neck leading to an everted rim with a pinched spout. A single handle has been applied to the jug from the shoulder, on the back of the head, to the rim in the same coloured glass. The jug has been blown in a two-part mould: traces of the joining seam can be seen at the mid-way point vertically.
Please take note of the measurements.
Date: Circa 2nd-3rd century AD
