This amphora has an outward rim with a tapered edge, a neck that widens to the amphora's broadest point at the shoulders, a spherical body, and quite thin oval section handles that arch down from below the rim to the shoulder. The characteristic feature of the form is the omphalos-formed protrusion placed exactly in the middle of the solid handle-formed toe and a painted band encircling the toe. It is the second complete Lycian amphora recovered from an archaeological excavation (Dündar 2021, p.120:3).
