Glass bowls from the Maeotian and Sarmatian burials of the Kuban region

Glass bowls, as a rule, come from rich burials. The earliest are rare finds of «Achaemenid» bowls with petal ornaments dating back to the 4th c. BC. In the burials of the 2nd-1st cc. BC bowls are already represented by several types: two deep hemispherical bowls made of monochrome glass (plane-walled and Grooved bowl), Long-Petal bowl, two polychrome Spiral Reticella bowls. In the sites of the 1st c. AD the following types of bowls were found: hemispherical Linear-Cut Bowls (3 pcs.), Ribbed bowls of different variants (5 pcs.), Double Convex bowl millefiori and zarte Rippenschale.
