Description
This small Late Antique form made in western Asia Minor is the successor to the earlier one-handled “Micaceous Water Jar” and Middle Roman Amphora 3. Distinguished by its thin walls that show wide, spiralling ridges and by its micaceous brown fabric, with a smooth, even soapy surface texture. The form displays a shift over time from one to two handles and from a hollow to a closed spike.
