Fragment of a rib shell. A low curvature and the resulting rib of the glass fragment allow the assignment to a rib shell. The dark brown reason is bounded by a white line, it is light brown. In the dark brown reason you can see three white stripes and a white triangle. For the production, different colored glasses were shaped to tubes and rods. These were compressed and heated, causing a long bar. The glass sliced now had different amorphous or floral patterns. Thereafter, several of these platelets were folded together, heated again and pressed into the vascular shape. Burry for the elabora

Burry for the elaborate manufacturing process and its fragility was one of the luxury articles of antiquity.
