Roman Double Head Flask

Roman Double Head Flask, ca. 2nd-3rd Century AD. This small amber vase is made with two human faces back to back. The styling, with knob-like hair and puffy facial features, is typical of this variety of Roman head flask. The piece has been rebuilt on one side and the rim has been filed. A very nice rare example of ancient glass work. Ex-Rockford College Art Collection; Harlan J. Berk, Ltd. Buy or Bid Sale 152, December 19, 2006, lot 439. H. 2 7/8" (7.3 cm)..
