This ancient Levantine goblet, dating back to the 4th-5th century, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the period. Made of glass, it features a distinct bowl shape supported by a slender stem and a small foot. The surface of the goblet is adorned with a band of horizontal grooves and exhibits iridescent coloration, a result of the aging process. This piece, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into the drinking practices and aesthetic sensibilities of ancient Levantine culture.
