Description
Funnel-mouthed flask made from light green glass with many small bubbles. Fire rounded rim edge; abraded decoration and pontil scar. YORYM : HG146.1-4 described in Eboracum as "lay in the coffin in pairs, lip to lip... though it is not apparent whether this position has any special significance. All are of the same colourless fabric with very similar decoration of horizontal wheel-incisions in groups; the neck pieces (YORYM : HG146.3-4) are a pair in size, the others are not".
