**Originally Listed At $400**

Classical World, Central Italy, Etruria, ca. 768 to 264 BCE. A wheel-thrown ceramic amphora of a miniature size with a discoid base, an apple-shaped body with a rounded shoulder, a tapering cylindrical neck with a flared lip, and a pair of wide strap handles joining shoulder to rim. An incised double-spiral motif is presented on either side of the body, with a pair of incised concentric V-shaped motifs separating each set of spirals, and thin striations adorning each handle. Bucchero is a specifically-Etruscan style for firing pottery which results in a smooth, lustrous black finish. This type of amphora may have been made specifically to be buried with offerings, as was often the case for such fine Etruscan pottery. Size: 4.3" W x 4.6" H (10.9 cm x 11.7 cm).

For a stylistically-similar example, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 41.162.251: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/254422
