Description from the seller
Very beautiful Roman Terra Sigillata Amphora Vase, North Africa, Ceramic, Complete

Eastern sigillée production began in the 1st century BC and, replacing Italian imports, became very abundant in the 2nd and 3rd centuries.
Height: 20.5 cm, Diameter: 18.5 cm
Condition: Good overall condition, with some faint cracks and calcareous deposits.
