Description
Roman, Late Imperial to Early Byzantine period, ca. 300 to 500 CE. A stamped cobalt glass pendant with a seven lamp menorah impressed on the surface. The menorah was historically used by Moses in the sanctuary he established in the wilderness and later in the famous Temple of Jerusalem and other places of worship. Early glass manufacturers were adept at making jewelry, vessels, and other creations from colorful glass, and the inclusion of religious symbols like the Jewish Menorah on certain items showed to whom the glass items were being primarily marketed. Size: 1.2" L x 0.75" W (3 cm x 1.9 cm)
