Amphora

Description

This is a very small amphora decorated with dark green glaze. It is thought to be ancient Greek or Roman and its small size suggests it was used for votive or funerary purposes. It has been in the museum’s collection for many years but unfortunately it was not recorded where it was found or who donated it to the museum.
