Glass inlays like this were used to decorate shrines or cartonnage. When forming part of the decoration for cartonnage, they were pressed directly into the outer coat of plaster while it was still wet. This inlay probably formed part of the decorative pattern of a box, a piece of furniture, or an item of funerary equipment. The bright color not only enhanced the appearance of the object but had symbolic significance as well.
