Intact earthenware "olive" jar, very rare. 3775 grams, 11" tall and 9" widest diameter. A phenomenal artifact, reported to be one of only two intact jars from this wreck, as such jars are almost always shattered to pieces, this example with clean surfaces in light and dark orange color showing a ringed design, tall rolled lip, maybe a natural pit here and there but otherwise rather new-looking and very important for Atocha collectors. With Fisher certificate #96A-58582.Recovered from: Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
