Flask atop a Donkey (flask (bottle); Unknown Byzantine (Byzantine Artist); 6th - 8th century; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa (Malibu, Los Angeles...; 2003.467) | |
Note: Free-blown aryballos-shaped flask of translucent blue-green glass. The vessel rests inside a cage atop the back of a free-formed donkey of the same glass. The cage is arranged as a lattice of connected threads in zig-zag shapes and a horizontal thread that forms a ring around the base of the vessel. The donkey is fused to the vessel, supporting it with four spread out legs. The ears extend to meet with the cage. Part of the tail has been broken. The neck and head are flattened and two-dimensional. Heavy weathering gives the entire ensemble a brown and white coloring. | |
