DescriptionThis pale green glass jar, probably from the late Roman or Byzantine period, has a slender tubular body decorated with pairs of vertical ribs forming a diamond pattern. Two loop handles are attached near the rim. The rim is folded in several directions, and the base is flat with a central depression. The jar was shaped by blowing and tooling, with added decoration.
