DescriptionThis thick green-tinted glass beaker from the 4th–5th century CE has a straight, conical shape. The rim is slanted slightly downward, and three fine horizontal cuts decorate the upper part of the body. The base is flat with a slight dip in the center. Weathering has altered its appearance.
