DescriptionThis fragment of a rectangular cast glass plaque is decorated in relief with a military trophy motif, including shields, quivers, and spears. The piece is formed from translucent bluish glass layered with opaque grayish blue. The relief was likely created through mold-pressing techniques, and the composition suggests it once formed part of a larger decorative scene.
