    Some archaeological finds may appear unremarkable and ordinary, yet they often are more interesting than any treasure, such as this Roman glass square bottle remarkably containing a rare find – preserved ointment. The waxy mass of fatty acids and glycerine contains plant fibres from wood, pollen and seeds.
    Found in Wederath, dating 1st century AD.

    A small Roman square glass bottle with a short neck and a rounded rim, featuring a applied handle on one side. The translucent greenish glass is weathered, and the bottle is filled with pale yellow-brown residue. The vessel sits on a dark display surface, with another stone container blurred in the background.
