Editing Kassites (section)

=== Glass works ===
Remnants of two Kassite glass beakers were found during the 1964 excavation in a (c. 800 BC) [[destruction layer]] of [[Hasanlu]], in northwest [[Iran]]. The mosaic glass beakers are thought to have been heirlooms, possibly for ritual use the find spot being a temple. The panes of glass used to create these images were very brightly colored, and closer analysis has revealed that they were bright green, blue, white, and red-orange.<ref name="Marcus">{{cite journal |last=Marcus |first=Michelle I. |title=The Mosaic Glass Vessels from Hasanlu, Iran: A Study in Large-Scale Stylistic Trait Distribution |journal=The Art Bulletin |volume=73 |issue=4 |date=December 1991 |pages=535–545|doi=10.2307/3045829 |jstor=3045829 }}</ref> A Kassite text found at [[Dur-Kurigalzu]] mentions glass given to artisans for palace decoration and similar glass was found there.<ref>Taha Baqir, "Iraq Government Excavations at 'Aqar Qüf.
