These sculptural elements, demonstrating the Byzantine love of complex patterning with lush textures, were originally painted in rich, vibrant colors like those surviving in textiles.. Block from an Arch with a Rosette. 6th-7th century. Sandstone; carved in relief. Said to be from Egypt, Aswan. SculptureFragment of a vessel. A low curvature of the glass fragment allows the assignment to a vessel, possibly a shell. Violet background shows several flowers in millefiori technology. They consist of a yellow circle as a core to put the concentrically multiple colored rings - from the inside to the outside in transparent, mint green, red, brown, white. For the production, different colored glasses were shaped to 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 together, heated again and pressed into vascular shape. Burry for the elaborate manufacturing process and its fragility was one of the luxury articles of antiquity.
