?:scopeNote
  • This is quite a large cylindrical amphora ('Africano grande' type of Zevi & Tchernia (1969)). The rim is tall with a flat external face, sometimes gently prominent or forming a continuum with the neck, the presence of which is signified by a groove. The neck tends to be quite conical and the ear shaped handles are quite pronounced. The body is almost perfectly cylindrical, but not as wide as that of the Africana 2A-C types. The solid, massive, spike is elongated and 'baluster' shaped. The amphora occasionally has a stamp on the neck, in the form of incised letters on two lines, providing an abbreviated place-name and/or a tria nomina (Manacorda, 1977a). Late variants (Bonifay, 2004) have a narrower rim, neck and body, similar to the Africana 3 (=Keay 25) amphorae. Anepigraphic stamps (circles or half circles) are attested on both variants. (en)
