Description

ancient terracotta amphora vessel washed up on shore and shows heavy surface encrustation, mineral buildup, and underwater patina consistent with long-term submersion. double handle pointed bottom It measures approximately 7 inches long 3.5” wide. acquired from a private collection and appears consistent with amphora or trade containers from Mediterranean shipwrecks. Amphorae are of great use to maritime archaeologists, as they often indicate the age of a shipwreck and the geographic origin of the cargo. They are occasionally so well preserved that the original content is still present, providing information on foodstuffs and mercantile systems. Ceramics for common uses such as shipping containers (amphorae) and water, wine and oil jugs were so ubiquitous that- Amphorae were too cheap and plentiful to return to their origin-point and so, when empty, they were broken up at their destination or thrown overboard into the sea or At a breakage site in Rome, Testaccio, close to the Tiber, the fragments, later wetted with Calcium hydroxide (Calce viva), remained to create a hill now named Monte Testaccio, 148 ft high. It will be shipped very well-packed Sold as-is with no formal authentication what you see in photos is what it is A RARE FIND just washed up at sea ANCIENT

  2. The item was a different color than what I thought I was ordering...and for several days the package was lost. However, the seller was great in doing everything possible to find out where the package had been left. I did return the item and the seller said she would do a full refund. I paid the postage to return the item.
