Created 1,600 years ago, this unique glass displays stunning optical effects thanks to its tiny gold and silver nanoparticles. Their rigorous experimentation with both ancient and modern techniques opens doors for scientific advancements, extending beyond mere artistic creation. A modern sculpture inspired by this historic artifact will soon be unveiled.
