Juglet, mould-blown green glass; it has the
shape
of a down-turned pear, with a collar on its
upper
part, a somewhat tall opening neck with an
angular
handle.
Egypt or Eastern Mediterranean, most likely
Roman, 2nd – 4th century.
Ht. 8cm; Top diam. 1.7cm.
Comparative material: there are a few similar
Roman examples published by Israeli, but
they are
without handles, cf. Israeli, nos.104-108,
p.116-
117. A similarly shaped, decorated later period
juglet is in the Nasser D. Khalili collection, cf.
Goldstein, no.67, pp.72-73, attributed to Syria
and
dated to the 7th – 10th century.
