BYZANTINE AMPHORA
5th - 7th century AD
height cm 57; diam. cm 14
Characterized by loop handles and by a bullet-like shape, with deeply incised ridges around all body. This type is widespread in the Eastern Mediterranean and in the Black Sea. The encrustations visible on the vessel’s surface are caused by centuries of wear in the marine environment. Provenance: From a collector-entrepreneur of the past who lived between the US and Europe, bought in the 1980s.
