Bacia com guirlanda

late 1st century BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 166
Esta bacia moldada, uma obra de arte em vidro, é formada de quatro segmentos quase iguais de vidro translúcido—roxo, amarelo, azul e incolor—comprimidos um junto do outro em um molde aberto. Cada segmento está decorado com uma tira de vidro mosaico policromo (obtida por meio da seção transversal de um feixe de varas de vidro), representando uma grinalda pendurada em um cordão branco opaco. As bacias antigas feitas com segmentos de vidro de diferentes cores não são muito conhecidas; a bacia aqui retratada é o único exemplo que combina esta técnica com uma decoração de mosaico.
