Roman funerary rites changed in Late Antiquity as burial practices became more widespread. This glass jug was discovered in 1895 inside a sarcophagus, at the foot of the body. It is one of the finest examples of the output of a workshop that was probably based in Trier and specialised in ornamental glass motifs in the shape of snakes.
