A petite glass flask with brilliant aqua hues sitting on a flat bottom that swells outward with thick walls and tapers to a long neck and flared lip. Rainbow and silvery iridescence covering the exterior and interior surfaces formed over the ages. Perhaps this bottle contained scented oils or perfumes for a Roman lady.
