Inlay, millefiori, Roman Period, 30 B.C.–A.D. 364, From Egypt, Glass, H. 3.2 × W. 6 cm (1 1/4 × 2 3/8 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
