The fabric of the vessel is a light pinkish orange in colour and has few visible inclusions. The rim measures 39mm wide and is flattened on top. It angles downwards slightly and, underneath, angles back into the body at approximately 45 degrees. The neck extends vertically downwards from the rim and is up to 33.6mm thick. The handle remnant is 67.2mm long by 56mm wide and 40.1mm high. It is oval in section. It extends outwards from just underneath the rim. Overall, the sherd measures 104.5mm high by 90.9mmm wide and weighs 606.8g. | Subjects: | Dressel 20 Amphora | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
