Large earthenware "olive" jar, encrusted and repaired. 8110 grams, 21" tall and 11" in diameter at shoulders. Akin to the amphorae of ancient times, "olives" jars (so named for either their shape or contents, or both) came in many shapes and sizes, this one a bit more elongated than most, with round bottom and typically thick intact rolled lip at top, lots of coral encrustation all over, several large repaired cracks, impressive display nonetheless. (Additional packing and shipping will apply.) With photo-certificate BP0019 from the salvagers. Recovered from an Unidentified mid-1500s wreck off Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
