Distinctive FeaturesThis amphora has a solid pointed spike at the end of a tapering body. The neck is slightly curved at its widest point under the rim, which is everted and made by returning the wedge of clay on itself, the upper face being rounded. The handles have an oval or rounded section (Laubenheimer, 1989). There are no complete examples.See characteristics | ||
