Small Blown Glass Jar, Ancient Mediterranean

A small, round-bodied glass jar with a short neck flaring into a wide, thin rim, set against a plain grey background. The pale green glass is covered in tiny bubbles and a frosted, weathered surface that catches soft light. The record dates it to the 2nd-3rd century and describes it as blown glass.
