A RARE UNIQUE ROMAN GLASS 2000 YEARS AGO, ANCIENT GLASS WAS DISCOVERED IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATION SITES IN ISRAEL AND OTHER MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES.
GLASS PERFUME AND OIL VIALS, GLASS JUGS AND BOTTLES OR BROKEN PIECES OF THESE OBJECTS ARE BEING EXCAVATED IN JERUSALEM, BETHLEHEM, CAESAREA, NAZARETH, MASADA, AND OTHER SITES OF ANCIENT ROMAN OCCUPATION. OBJECTS THAT ARE EXCAVATED INTACT, ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE ISRAEL MUSEUM, AND VERY HIGHLY VALUED ANCIENT ISRAEL, DUE TO ITS LARGE STRETCHES OF SANDY DUNES AND BEACHES, WAS ONE OF THE LARGEST GLASS PRODUCERS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
THE EXCAVATED GLASS FRAGMENTS IN THE HOLY LAND HAVE BEEN EMBEDDED IN THE SOIL FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. THE PATINA FORMATIONS - THE IRIDESCENT, PEARLY SCALES OF THE SURFACE OF THE GLASS - EVOLVED GRADUALLY OVER CENTURIES AS A RESULT OF PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE SUN, WATER, OXIDATION AND DAMPNESS IN THE SOIL IN WHICH THE GLASS WAS BURIED
To preserve the Roman glass and the patina do not allow glass to come in contact with water or any liquid.
The ROMAN GLASS FRAGMENT comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and with a gift box.
