Le verre, d'origine probablement bleu-vert clair, présente aujourd'hui une spectaculaire altération avec iridescence nacrée aux reflets argentés, dorés et bleutés, ainsi que d'importantes concrétions minérales beiges et blanchâtres témoignant d'un long enfouissement. La panse arrondie repose sur un fond légèrement aplati. A Roman Eastern Mediterranean Blown Glass Balsamarium. 1st-3rd century A.D. Small balsamarium in blown glass, of squat globular form topped with a short cylindrical neck ending in a slightly thickened flared rim. The glass, originally probably light blue-green, now presents spectacular alteration with pearly iridescence showing silvery, golden, and bluish reflections, as well as significant beige and whitish mineral concretions indicating long burial. The rounded body rests on a slightly flattened base.
