An Eastern Mediterranean Core-Formed Glass Double-Handled Amphoriskos, 2nd – 1st Century B.C.
H: Approximately 17cm
The vessel has a rounded body that tapers into a small foot, with a tall, narrow neck and a slightly flared rim. The two handles extend from the shoulder of the vessel to the neck, allowing for ease of handling and pouring. The amphoriskos is decorated with horizontal trailing of glass, which are applied in a contrasting colour to create the striped pattern. On the body, the decoration features a series of festooned wave-like patterns.
