Flask, 3rd century A.D. Additional Info: Applied threads of blue and white glass decorate the colorless body of this Roman glass flask. Simple, trailed-on threads of glass, as seen on the neck of this flask, were a common Roman glass ornament, but the sinuous, flattened ribbons, as seen on the flask's body, gives this type of glass decoration its name: snake-thread. This vessel, with its floral ornament of flattened leaves spreading out from twisting stems, belongs to the "flower and bird" group.
