Amphora fragments from the ancient mine at Skouriotissa

Description
A two-handled vessel with a tall neck stands upright, its lower body broken away and reassembled from large fragments on a wooden board stand. A dashed line traces the outline of the missing profile, and small sherds lie on the wooden surface around the base. At right, against a plain wall, hang two dark metal instruments: a triangular plate and a diamond-shaped frame with a vertical arm.
