   Fascinating world of ancient #glass: One of my favourite #Roman objects made of glass is this little basket (height 6.5cm). It is not clear what it was used for, possibly to hold cosmetics.

   From Syria, dating 3rd century AD.

   On display at British Museum

     A ca. 4,500-year-old seed bag from #Egypt made from reed-grass. It's still in fantastic condition due to the dry desert climate.

     On display at Neues Museum Berlin.
