In ancient Rome, there was a high demand for colorful glass that could dazzle banquet guests alongside the expensive silver and gold serving wares meant to impress. Fragments like this one would have once been a part of larger mosaic dishes. The mosaic pattern was made by sagging molten glass into bowl-shaped molds, a technique used on many of these fragments is similar to millefiori, ìthousand flowersî in Italian, a modern glass-making method in which tiny rods of colored glass are bundled together, wrapped in a sheet of glass, fused, and then thinly sliced to reveal swirls of a flower-like patterns. They were arranged side by side, sometimes together with bits of colored glass, and fused together with heat.. Glass, mosaic glass technique .

Assyrian This small shell piece was found in a well in the Northwest Palace of Ashurnasirpal II at Nimrud, together with other similar shell ornaments, several of which are also in the Metropolitan Museums collection (54.117.16, .17). They were probably thrown into the well when the palace was sacked, in 614 B.C. and then again two years later. They can be identified as horse trappings, and were probably part of a leather harness which disintegrated in the well sludge. Horses in the reliefs of the palace of Sargon II at Dur Sharrukin (modern Khorsabad) are represented with double-fan shaped ornaments on their bridles, as in a relief in the Metropolitan Museum (33.16.1) showing a groom with two horses. Because of the close parallel with the reliefs from the palace at Dur Sharrukin, the equestrian harness elements from this well probably date to the time of Sargon in the late eighth century B.C.

A low curvature of the glass fragment allows the assignment to a vessel, possibly a shell. The mint green shard shows several flowers in millefiori technology. A yellow circle is enclosed by several red circles with black contour. The representations are slightly distorted. For the production different colored glasses were formed into tubes and rods. These were compressed and heated, causing a long bar. The glass sliced now had different amorphous or floral patterns. Thereafter, several of these platelets were folded, heated again and pressed into a vascular shape. Burry for the elaborate manufacturing process and its fragility was one of the luxury articles of antiquity.Sweden, Blekinge, Blekinge, Karlskrona, Karlskrona, external marina (depicted, town).Sweden, Blekinge, Blekinge, Karlskrona, Karlskrona, External War Gogs (depicted, City)Awl ca. 4600-3600 B.C.

Old Kingdom-First Intermediate Period During the Old Kingdom and First Intermediate Period, small amulets of hands (10.130.2358) and feet (10.130.2355) were commonly included in bracelets and anklets. These amulets protected the limbs and extremities of their wearers, while possibly conferring abilities such as dexterity, creative potential, or speed. Often these amulets were made of carnelian, an orange-red stone. The color, reminiscent of blood, would bring power and energy to the amulet.. Hand Amulet. ca. 2465-2100 B.C.. Carnelian.
