Stamped Amphora Handle

Amphora · 4th-1st century BCE

Part of the handle at the point of attachment to the vessel neck has been sheared off. The stamp has been imperfectly impressed, preserving a small section through the middle. Visible is the text /AGOR running in a circle around the edge of the stamp, and the letters ID IN running horizontally on either side of the central device, the image of an amphora nearly completely preserved.
