Description

A two-handled pottery amphora with a wide flared rim, a narrow neck and a rounded body, photographed on a plain pale background. Dark painted horizontal bands run around the shoulder, a broad wavy line encircles the belly, and a dark band lies near the base. Cracks run across the shoulder, and the vessel stands on a small foot with its shadow visible on the surface.
