Inlay fragment, small colored squares forming a diamond pattern. Dimensions: H. 3.1 × W. 3.6 cm (1 1/4 × 1 7/16 in.). Date: 100 BC-100 AD. A mosaic glass technique allowed multiples of an image to be created: a figural or design composition was made by bundling colored glass canes, which were then drawn out into a long bar . The bar was then sectioned at right angles, probably by striking the bar with appropriate tools, to produce small inlay tiles. The tile would then be smoothed and polished on the face intended to appear outwards. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
