#Fayum - like image of a goddess #Roman time Egypt
"The headdress – sun disk with flanking cow horns and crowned by two feathers indicates that Aphrodite-Hathor is probably depicted here. The figure on her right is missing. The oval face with the full cheeks is idealized, the suggested double chin and the so-called Venus wrinkles belong to an antique ideal of beauty." See #AltText

Kantharos is such a beautiful shape of a vessel, elegant. This one is made of glass, originally light blue and transparent I guess. I don't know what caused the "corrosion" effect, but it looks very interesting.

Two pairs of earrings found in a case with a hoard of coins in the House of Menander in #Pompeii.
First pair is made of gold with emeralds, second pair is made of gold inlaid with dark green glass (a similar technique was used for earrings with glass from Boscoreale).
