Distinctive Features

This is a small amphora with a pointed hollow base. The rim is prominently everted with one or more grooves on the external face. The cylindrical neck is sometimes emphasised by a ring in relief at the junction of the neck and body. The handles are flat with a central groove. The pointed base has several variations including flat bases, buttons or conical-shaped (Willems et al, 1964 ; Baudoux et al, 1998).
