| Comment | A core-formed tapering bottle made with glass. The amphora-shaped vessel has a disk-shaped protrusion at the tip, and two handles applied to the slightly protruding shoulders of the body. The mouth rim has been pulled out. Purplish red glass has been trailed around the body, and a chevron pattern has been created by combing with a metal bar. Compared to other examples, the traces of the combing bulge considerably. |
