Description
Mid green colour. Some metallic-looking iridescence at the top of one side, and slight white patination below. The double balsamarium (of which this is a simple type) was common in Syria. Much more elaborate versions exist, some with complicated loops of decoration at the ends of the handle and down the sides of the vessel.
