Visual description

A traditional two-handled ceramic vessel with a wide, rounded body that narrows into a small neck and an open rim at the top. The handles curve from the neck to the body on either side. The base is typically pointed. Amphorae are usually terracotta-colored (a warm, earthy red) or light brown, resembling the natural clay used in ancient pottery. A Greek meander pattern wraps around the body of the amphora and may include decorative lines or borders. Apple’s emoji also features a second meander pattern around the neck of the jar.
