A BYZANTINE GLASS BOTTLE
circa 5th-7th century a.d.
Yellowish-green in color, mold-blown, the hexagonal body with a concave base, slightly sunken shoulders, a tapering neck and a funnel-shaped mouth, one vertical panel of the body molded with a cross with flaring arms above a rectangular altar or column with a zig-zag patern, flanked by two panels with a stylized palm branch, and one panel with a human figure, perhaps a Stylite saint, wearing a hood and perhaps holding a shield or a spoked wheel, the lower portion of the figure delineated with three vertical lines perhaps repsenting the column on which the saint perched, flanked by two panels with a lattice pattern of seven lozenges with dots in each
8 in. (22.2 cm) high
