Jar
Unknown3rd - 5th century
The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States
Free-blown jar of translucent, yellow-green glass. The body is squat and spherical with a horizontal row of pinched knobs. The rim is folded over the inside edge. There is a thread of the same-colored glass looped along one side of the interior of the mouth and neck, apparently applied by mistake. There is only very light weathering and incrustation on the inside.
