The aim of the learning game is to form matching pairs (image/term). Of course, the template must first be cut into triangles. In the reading text you will find out more about the objects shown.
The bust depicts a Nubian boy. The short neck develops into the childlike head with full cheeks and thick, slightly parted lips. The short and wide nose sits between the wide-set eyes with drilled pupils.
The flat shell bottle with a short stem base was blown in a two-part mold. A thin glass thread runs in two rows around the short, wide neck.
The transparent, colorless glass mug has a slim cylindrical shape that is rounded at the bottom. It ends with a short foot and a flat base stand.
The spherical cup made of colorless glass had four large colored nubs on the wall, alternating in yellow and green-blue. There were small yellow glass dots in the middle of each one.
The conical cup with a rounded base has an elaborate figurative notch cut decoration. The edge that had been chipped off from the glassmaker's pipe had been reground; two parallel grooves run underneath the edge.
The picture lamp with an attached ring handle shows a gladiator attacking to the left. It was probably produced in the Rhineland.
