Ptolemaic or Roman Egyptian, Glass Floral Inlay Fragment, c. Late 2nd Century B.C. - Early 1st Century A.D.

Floral plaque fragments of this pattern are included in some published museum collections. They all appear to be from the same workshop, reputedly in or around Bahnasa, Egypt. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a near complete plaque but all known examples are fragments. Although, fragments are all that remain of the extraordinary work of these brilliant artisans, we can still take pleasure from these small glimpses of their ancient masterpieces.

Lightfoot NMS 492, magnificent floral pattern, Superb, probably c. 100 B.C. mint, three yellow branches with dark green leaves, part of white flower, yellow fruits, three larger yellow fruits with clear white centers, dark grey-blue background; of great rarity!; SOLD
