Glass mosaic inlay fragment
Opaque deep purple and white.
Flat, triangular plaque.
Marbled mosaic pattern in red ground with tiny red streaks and white rods.
Chipped edges and corners; polished upper side; pitting of surface bubbles; thick creamy weathering and some iridescence on underside and some of edges.
The colors and patterning are probably a deliberate attempt to imitate a luxury stone such as red porphyry.
