Glass alabastron (perfume bottle)
Opaque chocolate brown, with handles in same color; trails in opaque yellow and opaque turquoise blue.
Uneven horizontal rim-disk, with radiating tooling marks on upper surface and rough edge to mouth; off-center cylindrical neck, tapering downwards; narrow rounded shoulder; slightly convex sides to cylindrical body, tapering upwards; convex bottom; two large vertical ring handles with knobbed tails, applied over trail decoration; one tail longer than the other.
Yellow and turquoise trails attached at top of body, wound down in a close-set spiral as alternating lines, tooled into a close-set zigzag pattern; yellow trail ending as a broad spiral on bottom.
Intact; dulling and pitting, and thick creamy weathering with faint iridescence; weathering makes most of trails appear opaque white.
