2020 Replicas and Reproductions

Execution of two ceramic reproductions with posterior final finishing to integrate the future collection of the Archaeological Museum of Alvalade (Santiago do Cacém - Alentejo):

  • one from an original Amphora Dressel 14, from the Roman Period, founded on Monte Espada (Alvalade), of a private collection, which deserved a previous conservation and restoration intervention, and
  • another from a drawing that reproduces the shape of an Amphora Almagro with the same historical origin.
