Inlay fragment, small colored squares forming a diamond pattern, Ptolemaic Period–Roman Period, 100 BC–100 AD, From Egypt, Glass, H. 3.1 × W. 3.6 cm (1 1/4 × 1 7/16 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
