A 1700-year-old Middle Eastern bowl known as the Constable-Maxwell Cage-Cup will be auctioned in London next month, and is expected to sell for about 2 million English pounds.

The glass artwork, about the size of two cupped hands, is believed to have been made about 300 CE by a craftsman in Syria.
