A low curvature of the glass fragment allows the assignment to a vessel, possibly a shell. The violet glass runs through an irregular grid of white lines that resembles a honeycomb. In the spaces is a flower in millefiori technology. In order to see a turquoise point with a transparent and a yellow contour, several white points can be seen circularly shaping petals. For the production, different colored glasses were molded 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 together, heated again and pressed into the vascular shape. Burry for the elaborate manufacturing process and its fragility was one of the luxury articles of antiquity.Ornament, c. 300 BC-AD 100. Peru, South Coast, Ica Valley, Paracas, c. 300 BC-AD 100.
