- Synopsis
- This page shows a Panatheniac Amphora, a large Greek ceramic jar. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image fills the page. It shows the large storage jar, 60 to 70 centimetres high, that was filled with ten gallons of olive oil and presented to winners in the Olympic Games. The Amphora is decorated in black on a ground of terra cotta, the natural red colour of the clay from which the jar was made. The jar is seen from the side. At the top of the image is the opening of the jars neck. Down the page is a band of decoration and to each side, a handle for carrying. The jar curves out on either side and has a band showing the images of two Olympic runners. They are seen from the side and each has two legs and one arm shown. Further down the page the jar curves in and there is a wide band of black colour with another band of decoration below this. At the bottom of the page, you can find the jars foot extending out to the right and left.
