Inlay fragment, feather(?) design, Roman Period, 1st–3rd Century A.D., From Egypt, Glass, H. 5.6 × W. 4.5 cm (2 3/16 × 1 3/4 in.), 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
