Amphoriskos, 1st century A.D. Additional Info: This mold-blown amphoriskos is made of yellowish green glass. The seam mark indicates that this amphoriskos was blown in a two-part mold. Its ovoid body, resting on a flat base, is decorated with a tendril frieze between two ribbed designs. The cylindrical mouth ends with an outsplayed mouth and lip folded inwards. Two purple handles have been applied on the shoulder and drawn up to the mouth. This amphoriskos is in fair condition with iridescent patches on the inside and a small fill on the rim.
