DescriptionThis red-purple glass bowl, made in the 2nd–3rd century CE, has a flaring rim, curved sides, and a slightly flattened base with a ring. A thin thread was applied near the rim, with decorative M-shaped coils attached to imitate handles. The glass surface shows streaks of color, and the base ring has tool marks.
