Hexagonal Pilgrim's Jar with Jewish Symbol, ca. 578–636, Byzantine, Mold-blown glass, Overall: 3 3/16 × 2 3/4 × 3 1/16 in. (8.1 × 7 × 7.7 cm), Glass-Vessels, These vessels were made for Jews and Christians, possibly as tokens for pilgrims visiting the holy sites in Jerusalem or for use in burial rites. They appear to have been mass-produced in a single workshop, since the vessels for the two religions closely resemble each other in shape and style and differ only in the symbols decorating them
