Physical DescriptionPossibly Fragment with Bird. Almost colorless, with greenish yellow tinge. Blown; slant- and linear-cut. Fragment from wall of vessel (Th. 0.15 cm) with slant- and linear-cut decoration. Identity of ornament is uncertain, but it includes half-palmette with hatched interior and volute at lower extremity. Second element may be head of bird with slant-cut countersunk dot for eye and beak indicated by single linear cut. If identification of head is correct, half-palmette may be wing and other linear-cut elements may be outline of plump body and one upper leg.Provenance
