DescriptionBlown aquamarine glass vial with a tapered rim and neck, a nearly square shoulder, a cylindrical body, and a pontil mark and a shallow kick on the bottom. A thick string is tied around the neck. The vial contains the skeletons of three small animals (possibly reptilian). The neck of the vial is broken; no part of the original rim remains. The breaks at the neck lead to a crack that extends to the shoulder of the vial.
