Item Details

Description

**This item is heavy/oversized and will require 3rd party shipping. Please inquire about shipping cost prior to bidding.**

Eastern Europe, Macedonia (sphere of Greek influence), ca. 3rd to 2nd century BCE. A marvelous and massive pottery transport amphora, enveloped in rich marine encrustations from centuries spent on the ocean floor! Transport vessels like this example were typically not adorned with painted decorations or applied details, though some display stamped markings denoting the materials contained within. The piriform body would have held large quantities of preserved meat, fruit, or other consumable substances. Size: 15.7" W x 21.9" H (39.9 cm x 55.6 cm); 33.9" H (86.1 cm) on included custom stand.
