Roman

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Colorless with pale yellow green tinge.
Cylindrical rod, tightly twisted to produce spiral fluting; one end tooled into a flat disk, the other is formed into a loop or ring handle by bending the rod round a full 360 degrees and attaching it to the top of the straight shaft of the rod.
Intact, except for loss on one side of the disk finial; iridescence, weathering, and limy encrustation.

Pinkish twisted dipping-rod with handle and knob.
