Two-Handled Amphora

Roman Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 130

This amphora-shaped vase is made out of Egyptian faience, a ceramic-like material often characterized by a bright turquoise blue glaze, like the example here. Of a minimalist design, with no decoration, its main features are its high size and handles terminating in ivy leaves, showcasing the quality of Egyptian craftmanship during the Roman Period.
