Glass jar

Roman

Not on view

Translucent blue green.
Thick horizontal rim, with rounded tubular edge, folded out, down, in, and down again, forming collar around neck, unevenly tooled and set at an angle to ovoid body; concave bottom.
Intact, but some small internal cracks; many bubbles, some black streaky impurities in rim; faint iridescent weathering on exterior, limy encrustation and thick, creamy brown weathering on interior. Sealed inside the tubular rim is visible a quantity of liquid, probably water, that seeped in when the jar was buried.
