A beautiful and graceful long necked glass flask, decorated with four concentric circles around the body. And more circles at the bottom of the neck and along it. It is a very heavy piece because of its thick walls. The circles were done by etching the glass with a stone tool.
Dark green, with rich and iridescent patina. Everted rim, folded inward, cylindrical neck with a bulge, long conical body truncated at bottom. White wound spirally from rim to base, marvered into walls, and partially combed into festoons. Bottle of this shape, used for kohl, are common among collections and among excavated material.
