Marble Relief Showing Transport Amphorae in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007

Marble Relief Showing Transport Amphorae in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007
Marble relief showing transport amphorae (jars)
Roman, Mid-Imperial, 2nd century AD

Accession # 25.78.63

This relief appears to show a merchant receiving a delivery from a porter at the right, who is carrying a jar over his shoulder. Other amphorae, with their mouths clearly sealed, are stacked in the corner at the left.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
