This absolutely gorgeous #Roman enamelled flask was found in a grave in Buzet (Pinguente), Istria/Croatia. It's a product of a workshop in Britain or Gaule. Enamelled objects were typical for the northwestern parts of the Roman Empire. 🧵 1/2 📷 taken by me #archaeology #RomanArchaeology 🏺

Round enamelled metal flask with a curved handle and intricate floral and geometric patterns in red, blue, orange, and green enamel. The surface is richly decorated in concentric circular designs, giving it a jewel-like appearance. The flask is displayed upright in a museum case.

A #Roman glass bowl in cobalt blue with white irregular swirls; it was made about 2000 years ago, probably in Italy, but ended up in a C1st AD grave in Roman Britain #AncientBlueSky #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #AncientRome
