- Lot Description
Egypt, Ptolemaic to early Romano-Egyptian period, ca. 332 BCE to first half of 1st century CE. An attractive gathering of six sizable mold-cast, opaque glass fragments exhibiting a plethora of vibrant colors. Four slender fragments were created via the millefiori technique with stunningly dense floral and checkerboard-pattern motifs and perhaps represent the leg portion of a deceased individual standing in mummiform. One colorful fragment depicts the latter half of a striding cow, perhaps representing the goddess Hathor, with a black-and-white body in front of a blue background. The largest fragment is a beige-hued recessed rectangle perhaps representing a votive coffin or sarcophagus. Size of largest (rectangular fragment): 3.25" L x 2.1" W (8.3 cm x 5.3 cm)
