| Description |  |
The five rock crystal works exhibited in this case were founded in a cistern in Carthage. They demonstrate the quality of the arts of a great city as the Roman world became Byzantine.
A groove at the bottom of this lion suggests that it was formerly mounted onto another object, perhaps a scepter.
