Description
This yellow-green glass bottle from the 3rd–5th century CE has a cone-shaped body and a short funnel mouth. The rim is rounded and slightly thickened. The base curves inward and ends in a ring formed by pushing in the glass near the bottom. Small air bubbles are scattered throughout the thin glass.
