Label TextThis group of ancient glassmaking debris was excavated in 1922 by the Egypt Exploration Society at Akhetaten (modern Amarna), the capital city of Pharaoh Akhenaten. The box contains broken crucibles, vitrified waste, and fragments of glass and glaze-making materials, including a crucible fragment still bearing trails of fused multicolored glass.
