On the interior of these bowls are painted scenes in red and gold leaf, possibly also with other colors now indiscernible. One depicts a building with a gabled roof and a porch supported by columns, and in the left foreground is a large Macedonian shield. On the other is a pointed monument, clearly identifiable as a betyl (a type of cult object common in the Near East), flanked by a wall and trees. Both scenes can therefore be taken to represent sanctuaries, suggesting that the glass bowls may have been made as ritual offerings.Free picture Two glass bowls with painted decoration integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
