Distinctive Features

On the basis of five fragmentary examples, Keay (1984) describes this amphora in the following manner:
The most characteristic had a wide shoulder and tall neck with gently concave sides. The rim had a pronounced outer face with semi-circular hollow beneath, and a gentle convex depression on the inner rim face. The handles were thickset with a squared profile and semi-circular section.The exterior of all samples was covered in an off-white to yellow slip. A complete example on display at Cartagena consists of a tall cylindrical body terminated by a rounded base with a poorly pronounced spike.
