Head Flask, about 2nd-3rd century A.D. Additional Info: This mold-blown head flask is made of olive-green glass. The body in the shape of a man's head rests on a slightly conical base. The round face and large features of the man suggest the physiognomy of an African man. The funnel-like neck is constricted at its base. This flask is in fair condition. The surface presents small patches of iridescence on the inside and brownish accretions concentrated on the neck. A large fill has been added on the mouth.
