A delicate Ancient Roman black glass pendant in the form of an intricate juglet. The pendant features a piriform shape, tapering at the neck before an everted rim, and at the base towards a circular foot. An applied trail of white glass encircles the centre of the body in a ‘zig-zag’ pattern and wraps below the rim. A handle of applied black glass with brown tones reaches from the rim to the base of the body. Some wear and flaking to the surface, particularly at the rim near the handle and to one side of the trail decoration. Minor earthy encrustations throughout.

Date: Circa 4th Century AD
