desimonewayland:Fragment of Panel with ThomasMade probably in Egypt 350-399This fragment came from a panel composed of pieces of flat glass that were cut to the desired shapes, fitted together, and inlaid in a resinous or bituminous matrix. The panel, which depicts the apostle Thomas, once decorated the wall of a church or chapel. While glass was used to windows in antiquity, this panel was not intended for that purpose.Collection of Corning Museum of Glass -- source link
