Jug decorated with snakes
Atelier à Trèves Langres, « Faubourg des Auges », IVe siècle de notre ère Verre soufflé
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.
