Engraved in the center of the original piece is an eagle, surrounded by the inscription LG X FR FEL, which marks the Tenth Legion. This object was attached to the leather battle-dress of a commander or put to other use by the cavalry.
The shards of glass inlaid in this piece originate from fragments of glass vessels created between the 1st and 6th Century C.E, discovered in Israel in the vicinity of the Mediterranean Sea shore.
