Glass funnel
This glass funnel is a rare survival from Roman Britain. It was discovered with a cremation burial on a road leading from the fortress at Exeter. Objects with Roman cremations were often ritually broken before being placed in the burial. As this is complete it may have been set in to the ground to pour offerings into the burial.
