Glass beaker with facet-cut decoration
Colorless with light green tinge.
Thin, outsplayed, knocked-off rim; funnel-shaped body, tapering in at base; broad, low, conical, outsplayed foot, made from a separate paraison with a ground outer edge.
On upper body, two fine horizontal lines; below, broad band of four overlapping rice-shaped vertical facets, arranged in a slight irregular pattern.
Broken on one side of rim with part missing; pinprick bubbles; dulling, pitting, patches of brilliant iridescence, and creamy brown weathering.
Similar beakers have been excavated in Denmark, Germany, Egypt, and Afghanistan. The type must have been made at several localities around the Mediterranean.
