Title

Turquoise glass bowl

Description

The opaque turquoise glass bowl features images of running, stylized hares in each of the five panels. The five enamel plaques have been identified as Byzantine, but were most likely made for another purpose. Three are decorated with a rosette pattern and the other two have a design of crosses beneath silver-gilt panels. The filigree plaques are of Western European origin, and were maybe added after the bowl arrived in Venice (15th century?).
