- Notes:
- Fragment of bowl or beaker. Central segment of slightly flaring wall in free blown and cut transparent colorless glass. Below a raised ridge a stylized palmette with curving horizontal leafy tendrils hanging down into incomplete spiral design. Finely incised lines on curves and within leaf pattern. Thin, good quality glass.; Cf. Carboni and Whitehouse #79; Benaki #335a-c; Lamm Pl. 61 #16 for similar design on a lamp; Glass fragment adorned with patterns carved in relief. The chiseling technique used to relief-cut this glass resembles the way rock crystal (which was analogized by medieval Muslim thinkers to light and petrified water) is worked. Free-blown and cut colorless glass (Pearls of Wisdom, Gruber; Dimmig).
