Foot missing.
Deep, sharply tapering, ovoid body; tall neck, ridged at line of upper handle-attachments; broad projecting torus rim, flat on top; strap handles, double-curved. Clay pink at core, buff at surfaces; rim, neck and upper part of shoulder reserved; below, thick rather dull black glaze, much worn. Non-Attic.
A high moulded base, like that seen on contemporary figured neck-amphorae, e.g. Richter and Milne, fig. 23, might have been appropriate. The prominent rim and elaborately curved handles imitate fine ware.
