Two clay storage amphorae recovered from Troizinia in Attica. The left vessel shows a pronounced ribbed texture around its body; the right amphora has a smoother surface with visible restoration joins and surface wear. Both share the typical amphora profile of a narrow neck, two vertical handles, and a rounded belly suited for storage and transport.
