Large, intact earthenware "olive" jar. 9280 grams, 20" tall and 13" in diameter. Akin to the amphorae of ancient times, "olive" 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 rolled lip at top (intact except for small chip before salvage), lots of coral encrustation all over, impressive display. (Packing and shipping to be invoiced separately.) With Anchor Research photo-certificate #BP0022. Recovered from: Unidentified early-1700s wreck off the Dominican Republic
