Blue Mold-Blown Glass Bottle, Roman Period
A small cobalt-blue glass bottle with a flared neck and a compact, squat body. The rounded sides carry raised, mold-blown relief of figures or masks framed in lobed panels, with translucent glass showing darker tones where it thickens. The surface is evenly lit against a plain gray backdrop.
