Late Roman amphora from North Africa (cylindrical body type, large variant), mid-5th to mid-7th century A.D. Amphora for transporting garum (fish sauce) or wine, made of orange-colored clay with an elongated, broad cylindrical body. The lower section is curved inward and features a tapered foot. The low, slightly curved shoulder is set apart from the cylindrical body by a gentle break and flows smoothly into the neck, which takes the shape of a steep truncated cone. Two ribbon-shaped handles, slightly flared upward, attach to the neck and curve gently downward toward the shoulder. The rim at the mouth is slightly convex and beaded. There is a small chip on the rim; otherwise, the piece is intact. The surface is almost entirely covered by a thin layer of marine growth and incrustations. Height 112 cm, width 35 cm. 20.20 kg.

Provenance: Private collection in southern Germany (bequeathed specialty collection), acquired by the father in the 1970s and 1980s from the German art market. Condition: II +
