Wheel-thrown terracotta amphora of elongated torpedo form, the cylindrical body tapering to a pointed base, with a short neck, single loop handle at shoulder and thickened rolled rim. Heavy encrustation over much of the surface, probably from long immersion in the sea. Amphorae of this shape carried wine, oil, and other goods by ship around the Mediterranean, the pointed base allowing them to be stacked in the hold or set into sand. Surface losses and abrasion.

Size: 27 inches (68.6 cm) H. x 7 inches (17.8 cm) W. + iron stand.Restored.

Provenance: Brigadier General James P. Jernigan (1914-1968). is the chief professional consultant to the surgeon general, U.S. Air Force, and chief of the Consultants Division, Directorate of Professional Services, Office of the Surgeon General, Headquarters U.S. Air Force.
