Gauloise 13



Distinctive Features

This is a thick-walled heavy amphora with solid handles which recalls the Dressel 20. The base is either flat or is in the form of a pointed button. The rim is usually triangular in section but it can also be rounded. The handles are curved at the bottom and jutt out at the top, which creates a sort of horn at the level of the upper attachment. The lower attachment of the handles is made by perforation of the body. The handles are sometimes decorated by pointed or line incisions: three types can be distinguished although whole forms are rare (Baudoux et alii, 1998).
