The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States

Free-blown amphora of clear glass with slight yellow tint. Ten vertical indentations were made during free-blowing to achieve a ribbed effect. The rim and mouth were formed by pincers and tongs. The pad foot and the two handles connecting the shoulder to the mid-neck were free blown from a separate blue-green glass and attached. There is a fracture in the neck.
