Glass Cosmetic Vessel

This free-blown cosmetic vessel is of pale-green colour with a blue-turquoise applied handle. It has two tubular compartments with an everted rim and a blue-turquoise basket handle applied on its sides. This type of cosmetic flacons was probably a toiletry item made to hold kohl, a dark powder for eye make-up. Cosmetic glass vessels were widespread in the eastern Roman Empire and were produced in large quantities until the early Islamic period.
