The Amphora is a tall, narrow ceramic vessel with two handles extending from the neck to the shoulder, designed for storing and transporting liquids like wine or oil. Its body is typically bulbous, tapering to a pointed or rounded base, and features a wide mouth for easy filling. The surface may display intricate Greek patterns, such as meanders or floral motifs, painted in black or red against a terracotta background, with some areas showing signs of aging or wear.
