Roman, Syria Palaestina, Glass Miniature Juglet Amulet, c. 4th Century A.D.
|Glass| |Antiquities|, |Roman,| |Syria| |Palaestina,| |Glass| |Miniature| |Juglet| |Amulet,| |c.| |4th| |Century| |A.D.|, From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer in antiquities for 40 years. Ex Robert Haas collection. This and a few other ex Haas miniature jug amulets offered here may be ex Kofler-Truniger lot 204. They appear to be some of the same pieces but it is difficult to be certain from the small black and white catalog photo.

"Freestanding zigzag" is a decorative techinque consisting of a freestanding coil, usually zigzagged between the rim of the vessel and the shoulder forming an open lattice free standing above the vessel's neck. On this example it is standing over the body, elevated by two coils.

In the Ernesto Wolf Collection, Marianne Stern argues the distribution of this type of juglets, from the Holy Land to western Europe, indicates they were produced in Palestine as early Christian amulets and taken as relics or souvenirs from holy areas.

Corning III 962 (a gift to the museum from Robert Haas), Kofler-Truniger lot 204, Superb, a true Gem!, 2.5 cm (1"), dark blue glass body with coil at shoulder and another low on the base; clear glass rim, open handle and freestanding zigzag ornamentation forming lattice cage above the body; SOLD
