Description from the seller
DRESSel TYPE DRESSEL 1A ROMAN AMPHORA
Large Dressel 1A-type amphora in perfect condition resting on an elegant metal stand.
Amphora dating from the last third of the 2nd century BCE to the first third of the 1st century CE.
Wine amphora, produced in workshops located on the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy.
Slightly swollen body, evoking the abdomen of a bee, ending in an elongated foot.
Smooth transition at the shoulder, which gradually tilts toward a narrow, long neck that widens very slightly upward.
Wide rim flanging outward, with a beveled lip oriented downward and outward.
The handles, wide and massive, are attached at the shoulder and rise almost parallel to the neck to a point just below the rim, where they bend to join the neck.
Light chips on the lip; otherwise, the object is intact.
Height: 91 cm. Width: 31 cm. Weight: 17.44 kg.
Light beige terracotta.
Intact, no restoration, just some wear and small chips - partially covered with marine sediments, the interior of the neck is blocked by a sea sponge.
