These #Roman glass spherical bottles would make great #Christmas baubles🎄, but they were used to hold perfume and loose powder. The contents were sealed inside the delicate cosmetic containers and a small knob at the top had to be broken off to remove the oil/powder.
Found in Trier, dating 1st/2nd century AD.
