Basket Amphoriskos, 1st century A.D. Additional Info: This mold-blown basket amphoriskos is made of olive-green glass. The seam mark indicates that this amphoriskos was blown in a two-part mold. The body, resting on a flat base, is decorated with basket patterns. The cylindrical neck ends with an outsplayed mouth and lip folded inwards. Two small handles were applied on the shoulder and drawn up to the mouth. This amphoriskos is weathered and has been reassembled.
