Description

A two-handled pottery amphora photographed upright on a pale surface against a plain backdrop. Its light surface carries dark painted bands: a wavy line below the rim, a zone of hatched triangles on the shoulder, and broad horizontal stripes around the body. Several cracks run across the vessel, and part of the base is broken away; a number label sits on the surface at lower left.
