Blown in light yellow glass, this bottle has a shallow funnel mouth with an inward folded rim, short cylinder neck, spherical body, and an indented base. The body is tooled with decorative slanting and parallel lines which encircle it. With blue, green, gold, and a particularly fine violet iridescence. A few modest age cracks on one side which appear to be stabilized. Otherwise, finely preserved. Said to be found in Palestine.
