Notes In the general shape of the body, lip, handles, and foot, the vase is a descendant of the Panathenaic prize amphora. The ribbing on the body, by contrast, reflects a predilection of contemporary Apulian workshops. The fine foliate ornament on the neck, which originally would have been gilded, is both decorative and an evocation of the original function of the shape as a prize vase.
