This is so.. ! Such a fragile object in the shape of such a fragile creature surviving through the centuries intact.

"Roman glass unguentarium in the form of a dove, containing the remains of a balsam. Sealed since its manufacture, containing the remains of balsam and the liquid in which it was once suspended. The vessel would be blown and filled through either the open tail or beak, which would then be reheated to seal it. Accessing the contents would require snapping off the beak or tail, which in this case was never done. Dated to the 2nd half of the 1st c. CE. Found at Rovasenda (Vc).Museo di Antichità di Torino (alias Museo Archeologico Nazionale del Piemonte), Italy."
