Title
amphora base showing fossilised marine organisms
Description
English: Fragment of earthenware amphora base, with four concentric ridges running parallel from the base upwards, and fossilised marine organisms on the surface, indicating that it has been under water for some time. The fabric has been high fired so that it is hard, almost like stoneware, with traces of copper green glaze on the interior of the vessel, and inclusions which, along with its shape, suggest that it was used for olive oil and made in Seville in the late 16th to mid 17th century.
Hurst, Neal & Van Beuningen (1986), illustrate a similar example on page 65, Fig.29, No.81.
