Roman Glass Footed Unguentarium w/ Trail Handles

**Originally Listed At $400**

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. late 3rd to 4th century CE.

Thick, fiery areas of silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence imbue the vessel with a burst of color which nicely complements the vibrant spring hues. Size: 2.3" W x 4.7" H (5.8 cm x 11.9 cm).
