Amphoriskos

Sasanian

The foot and flat disk base remain unglazed. About 1 cm of glaze exists on the interior lip of the vessel. An incised groove runs below the glaze on the shoulder, at the same level as the lower handle attachments. The object is in good condition, although some of the glaze has faded and flaked off.

Terracotta with green-blue glaze

Sasanian period
