This fascinating glass vessel, attributed to the Roman Empire and dated to the 4th century AD, stands out for its unique preservation with remains of fabric adhering to its surface. Measuring 18 cm in height and 10 cm wide, the piece belongs to the typology of jars or small bottles used to contain precious liquids such as perfumes, oils or ointments. Glass, a material widely used in late Rome for the manufacture of vessels, shows refined workmanship, with a globular body and an elongated neck culminating in a relatively wide mouth. It has two handles, a common feature in small jars for cosmetic or ritual use. The presence of adhered fabric is particularly notable, as it suggests that the jar may have been deliberately wrapped with organic fabric, possibly as part of a storage, transport or burial ritual. In the Roman funerary context, it was common to deposit small glass jars next to the deceased, containing essences or symbolic liquids. The state of preservation of the piece is remarkably good, despite oxidation and wear on the fabric. Similar finds have been documented in archaeological contexts in the Mediterranean, especially in tombs and domestic deposits from Late Antiquity. Parallels can be found in collections such as those of the Louvre Museum or the British Museum, where Roman glass jars with attached elements are displayed that show conservation practices and use in daily life and rituals of the period.
