Stamped Amphora Handle

View through Harvard Museums
Part of the handle at the point of attachment to the vessel neck has been sheared off. The stamp has been imperfectly impressed, preserving a small section through the middle. Visible is the text /AGOR running in a circle around the edge of the stamp, and the letters ID IN running horizontally on either side of the central device, the image of an amphora nearly completely preserved.
