Glass mosaic fragment
Not on view
Thin-walled body fragment.
Translucent purple, opaque white, yellow, and red.
Slightly convex curving side; two almost straight edges at right angle to each other.
Composite mosaic pattern formed from polygonal sections of two canes, both in a purple ground: one with a white circle around a ring of red rods and a central white rod, and the other with a white circle around a ring of white rods and a central yellow rod.
One corner broken off and unweathered; polished exterior; pitting and weathering of surface bubbles on exterior; dulling and iridescent weathering on interior and edges.
Possibly cut down into a triangle in antiquity.
