Phoenician Terracotta Amphoriskos, ex-J. Malter

Item Details

Description

From the ancient Near East, probably produced in the Levant, ca. 180 to 100 BCE. Small terracotta amphora (also known as amphoriskos) with double loop handles and an incised horizontal design. It has a flattened toe, a tapered body with thick walls, and an outwardly thickened rim. The body of the amphoriskos is gritty to the touch, with the occasional shiny inclusion that may be sea sand. Phoenicia was a maritime trading empire, based at this time period out of Carthage, and they exported unguents and other precious liquids in amphoriskoi of this kind all over the Eastern Mediterranean. Size: 10-1/2"H x 4" in diameter (26.7 cm x 10 cm).

Fourteen extremely similar amphoriskoi have been excavated at the Agora in Athens and are described in Hellenistic Pottery: The Plain Wares (Agora XXXIII) (Athenian Agora), Susan I. Rotroff, American School of Classical Studies Volume XXXIII Edition. 2006.

Provenance: Ex-private Bates collection, Clarksville, IA, ex-Joel Malter Collection, acquired before 1990
