Ancient Egyptian glass rosette from Amarna dated 1550 – 1295 BC

Blue turquoise glass rosette, probably from a glass bottle or equivilent, jagged back to rosette shows was part of a larger item. Impressed regular striations radiate out towards the edge of the circle, from a raised central disc. Slight surface possibly because it was painted at one time.
