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
Acquired 1960s-1990s. From the late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister.
The legend of the stamp usually comprises three elements, in full or abbreviated form: a) the name of a magistrate whose purpose was to date the amphora. In our case possibly Θράσωνος b) the name of the “fabricant” (manufacturer), who played a part in the production of the amphora (here SATYROS), c) ethnic element indicating the production’s place (maybe, here, associated with the the Θ of Θράσωνος, Knidos). -
