Greek Terracotta Amphora Handle Fragment with Stamp by Manufacturer Satyros for the Magistrate Thrasonos
Circa 3rd-2nd century B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £72
With rectangular stamp possibly bearing the names 'ΣΑΤΥΡΟ (SATYROS) Θ[ράσωνος] (Thrasonos)', and short handled trident to left. 130 grams, 80 mm
