Physical DescriptionPossibly Fragment of Bottle with Palmette. Almost colorless, with yellowish green tinge; many bubbles up to 0.15 cm across. Blown; slant- and linear-cut. Fragment of bottle(?). Wall (Th. 0.1–0.2 cm) is straight and descends vertically or almost vertically. Decoration is slant- and linear-cut, and (if fragment is thicker at top than at bottom) consists mainly of upright palmette defined by broad linear cuts and with slant-cut details, except for tear-shaped motif near top, which has linear-cut hatching. Adjacent motif on right side appears to be part of similar, inverted palmette.Provenance
