Vase with Three Handles from the Brooklyn Museum
Subject
Egyptian Glass
Description
As described by the Brooklyn Museum:
" Some of the finest works of New Kingdom glass were made under Akhenaten, perhaps under the inspiration of Asiatic glassmakers living in Egypt. Vessels such as this example were shaped around a sandy core and decorated with glass threads that were manipulated with a thin stick before the vessel had dried. By carefully moving his stick, the craftsman created ornate, rippled designs."
