This gilded silver pendant is made with an authentic Roman glass balsamarium (1st cent A- ampulla vitrea ) that was used from Romans to contain fragrant oils The use of sprinkling the body of perfumed oils was deeply rooted in everyday life...Pliny, the Roman writer and philosopher,lists them " among the most gradual things and the more dignified goods of life" .
During the Augustan age we have evident traces of an italian industry that had a production of great value.
This balsamarium is particularly beautiful because it has "luminescence", which forms inside the glass over many centuries!
