Product details

Seller's Notes:Amphora Antiquity Dates from the Roman Period ~ Herodian Phase 37 BC to Early 3rd Century AD "Dates to approximately 1st to 2nd Century A.D. ( perhaps earlier ) Found in Israel, in the area just north of Jerusalem, which is rich in architectural antiquities. It was used as a water jar, remains in good condition, with a red-brick color, and aged from its burial beneath Middle Eastern sands for thousands of years" I purchased this Amphora in the early 1980s from Antiquarium, Ltd, Fine Ancient Arts Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York City. It comes with a Certificate Of Authenticity along with documentation and materials referencing similar amphoras that are part of prestigious international collections including the Israeli Museum ( Jerusalem ); The Ha'aretz museum of Ceramics ( Tel Aviv ) the Jewish Museum ( NYC ) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art ( NYC ) "Antiquarium has specialized in the sale of highest quality authentic antiquities from the Classical, Egyptian and Near Eastern worlds since 1979.

It is a beautiful specimen; in remarkable condition for an Amphora of this age.
