Unguentarium (perfume bottle) from Trosley Roman villa

Written By Andy Ward

It's #FindsFriday once again!

If you've been following our project at Trosley Court you may remember that last week we lifted a partially intact Unguentarium or perfume bottle! It was quite exciting to help lift this from the soil for the first time in nearly 2000 years.

The bottle went to CSI: Sittingbourne for cleaning by Dana & her team and its now finished. Liz, a Conservation MA Student from Cardiff University has done an excellent job cleaning the glass.

I'll be posting more photos of the final result once I've been able to collect it, but already it looks vastly different to how it came out the ground.
