Inlay, running spirals 200 BC–100 AD Ptolemaic Period–Roman Period A mosaic glass technique allowed multiples of an image to be created: a figural or design composition was made by bundling colored glass canes, which were then drawn out into a long bar. The bar was then sectioned at right angles, probably by striking the bar with appropriate tools, to produce small inlay tiles. The tile would then be smoothed and polished on the face intended to appear elements could also be used side by side to create repeating Inlay, running spirals. 200 BC–100 AD. Glass. Ptolemaic P
