Original Commentary

Glass pendant in the form of a bull’s head

Greek, Eastern Mediterranean
late 2nd–1st century BCE

Colorless.
Solid, vertical pendant, with mold marks running up sides and top of head and over loop; on top of head, a small vertical suspension loop; flat back with tiny central hole.
Head of bull, with horns and ears, prominent eyebrows, and bulging eyes; star rosette on forehead.
Intact but chipped around edges; some pitting and faint iridescent weathering.
