Hej! Som går att se tydligt i bild nr 3 har man vid tillverkningen använt sig av tre separata lerbitar som sedan sammanfogats till ett handtag. "Triple" i det här fallet hänvisar alltså till formen på handtaget, snarare än till mängden handtag. Detta kan dock tydliggöras, jag ordnar detta! Helt rätt att tre handtag signalerar hydria, men då är endast ett vertikalt, medan resten är horisontella. Lycka till med ditt PM och hör gärna av dig ifall det uppstår fler frågor!

Hej! Angående MM 1962:007. Jag såg under description: triple, vertical handles from neck to shoulder. Det finns bara två handtag på denna amfora. Är det inte en hydra om det finns tre handtag? Jag har precis börjat konststudier på Stockholms universitet och håller på att skriva ett PM om denna amfora så därav mitt intresse. Mvh, Tony

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
