Its long straight neck is slightly constricted where it meets the pear shaped body. It has a flat base. There is some multi-coloured iridescence and crizzling. Part of the material that was given by the British Museum. Probably coming from excavations at the site of Amathus in Cyprus. Information about Amathus' site (necropolis) and excavations taking place there in the end of 19th century by the British Museum are included in the history file.
