Glass

---

c. 3rd to 4th Century AD, Roman Twin-Handled Unguentarium with Trailed Ornament, Choice Very Fine.
Height: 5-3/4”. With trailed (rather than mold blown) glass decoration. Light green glass, with larger handles of the same color, while the thin trailings are in dark green. Some minor repair at neck beneath handles, and as usual, some of the thin trailings are absent, but overall in excellent condition, with vivid, brilliant iridescence under the areas of blackish patina. Finding these fragile bottles with intact handles is rare, indeed.
