Inlay fragment, net design, Roman Period, 1st–3rd Century A.D., From Egypt, Glass, H. 1.7 × W. 2.3 cm (11/16 × 7/8 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
