Of turquoise faience, on a stemmed foot, the rim decorated with a band of medallions cast with daisies, lotus and papyrus buds in high relief. During the Graeco-Roman period, Romans were fascinated by Egypt. They imported Egyptian artifacts, and attempted to understand their symbols meanings with educated guess work. They developed their own interpretations and used such symbols, often misinterpreting them and treating them as magical symbols. This period lasted from 30 B.C. to 395 A.D.
