Descripción : Egypt, perhaps Alexandria or Fayum, Romano-Egyptian Period, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. Of both exceeding rarity and unquestionable beauty, a hand-built faience amphora of sturdy form and bichrome presentation from Roman-controlled Egypt. The apple-shaped body rises and expands gently upwards from the discoid foot, its upper body and shoulder densely decorated with a wreath of applied leafs glazed with sky blue pigment atop the midnight blue-purple body. Resting atop the shoulder and beneath the broad rim is an unusual pair of ring handles since many faience amphorae like this have either bar-shaped handles or no handles at all. Size: 7.4 W x 7.1 H (18.8 cm x 18 cm) Cf. another example at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 21.2.3.
