Glass mosaic inlay fragment
Translucent deep purple, appearing black, and opaque white.
Flat, irregular hexagon, with one long rounded edge.
Marbled mosaic pattern in a black ground with white threads and swirls.
Polished upper side; pitting of surface bubbles on upper side; dulling, pitting and patches of weathering on underside and edges.
This small piece of marbled mosaic glass is roughly shaped as a lozenge or hexagon, suggesting that it was an inlay in a larger opus sectile panel of geometric design.
