Interpretive NotesThis object was found in a Roman-period cemetery in western Germany in 1862. Glass vessels held cremated remains, gold jewelry, and coins, and were placed inside stone cylinders. Metal and ceramic juglets with intentionally broken necks would have held wine or oil. The current location of the cremated remains, as well as the jewelry and other finds, is unknown.
