CROATO-AEGYPTICA

hr / en

Small bowl was made by the technique of mosaic glass. The surface of the polished vessel is made up of irregular polygonal platelets of green translucent glass fused together. Inside the platelets, threads of yellow opaque glass form irregularly shaped spirals. The vessel has a flattened circular bottom, and the upper part of the vessel curves out. A thin spiralling thread of yellow glass is applied to the entire rim.
