Fayoum; Glass vessels; Glass; Bes?

Notes:

Mold-blown vessel. Rimless cylindrical neck. Parts of two different molds seem to have been utilized. One side shows portly squat body of a human (or a god like Bes?). Body is nude, with arms at sides, protruding belly and probably sitting with knees up. Feet broken off. Flat base. Other side is questionable; probably a frontal human-like creature, nude, with tail (?) curling down to the left. Flat base. protruding ridge extending up on opposite sides shows that the two mold halves were ill-fitting. Some pitting.
