The image shows a triangular fragment of ancient glass. The glass has a shimmering, iridescent quality, displaying a range of colors including green, blue, purple, and gold. This effect is likely due to the weathering and decomposition of the glass surface over time.

The edges of the fragment are rough and broken, suggesting that it was once part of a larger object. Along one side, there's a section of tan or light brown material that appears to be either some sort of adhesive or a piece of the original vessel to which the glass was attached.

In red paint, the number "2357" is visible on one of the edges of the fragment. This is likely a catalog or identification number added by archaeologists or museum curators.

The fragment is set against a plain white background, which helps to highlight its colors and textures. The lighting is even and diffused, allowing for a clear view of the glass's surface.

Here's a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of an ancient artifact, likely ceramic or glass. The fragment is roughly triangular in shape, with irregular, broken edges.

• Color and Texture: The surface of the fragment displays a stunning iridescence, with a vibrant play of colors like green, blue, purple, and hints of gold, a result of the material's degradation over time. Patches of darker green and brown are scattered throughout the surface. The reverse side of the fragment appears to be a beige or tan, and is much rougher.
• Markings: The number "3357" is boldly painted in red on the beige side.
• Overall Impression: The fragment appears aged and fragile, likely unearthed during archaeological exploration. The iridescence suggests it's made of a material that has undergone significant chemical alteration. The entire image is taken against a neutral white background, highlighting the object.
