Fascinating world of ancient #glass: One of my favourite #Roman objects made of glass is this little basket (height 6.5cm). It is not clear what it was used for, possibly to hold cosmetics.

From Syria, dating 3rd century AD.

On display at British Museum

@ninawillburger Like most of the contents and displays in the 'British' museum, not British. Looks sweet, but should it be there?
