Bowl fragments with menorah, shofar, and Torah ark. Roman, 300-350 A.D. Glass and gold-leaf.
From the Metropolitan Museum of Art:
This rare example of Jewish gold glass depicts an open Torah ark, with rolled scrolls on its shelves, and ritual implements of the temple-including two menorot (candelabra), a shofar (ram's horn), and an etrog (citron). Originally, a banqueting scene was shown below, with a fish on the tripod table in front of a cushion.
