Object Description

Roman opaque dark blue glass bangle. Cobalt-blue and red-brown glass was drawn and expertly tooled to form the bangle. A small knob remains visible where the ends were joined, and thin red-brown bands encircle the dark blue body.

Specifications

Inside diameter: ± 51,6 x 52,3 mm

Outside diameter: ± 61,8 x 63,3 mm

Condition

Intact, without visible cracks or repairs. Earthen deposits and surface weathering are consistent with age. The bangle was photographed under strong lighting to show its colour and pattern.

The Romans used glass to imitate precious stones such as emeralds, sapphires or amethysts. Glass was less expensive, could be produced in a wide range of colours and was easier to shape into specialised designs. With the availability of relatively inexpensive glass, many less affluent Romans could afford rings and bracelets made entirely of glass.
