Physical DescriptionTranslucent deep blue glass with a greenish-tinge, bubbly, dull surface with trails of opaque white and yellow; core-formed, trail-decorated and tooled. Fragment preserves portion of neck, shoulder and body of a medium-sized vessel, probably an amphora. Both neck and shoulder are decorated with alternating yellow and white trails dragged up and down on the neck, but only upward on the shoulder to create a festoon pattern and deep enough to create a ribbed effect on the vessel wall.
