Inlay fragment, patten of diamonds formed from smaller squares, Ptolemaic Period–Roman Period, 100 BC–100 AD, From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Glass, H. 1.9 × W. 3 cm (3/4 × 1 3/16 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
