A dark, rounded pottery amphora with a flared rim, a narrow neck, two loop handles and a small raised knob on the neck and the shoulder. The surface is worn and flaking in patches, showing paler areas where the slip has come away. The vessel stands on a thin metal stand against a plain grey backdrop.
