anforisco

English translation: amphoriskos

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:anforisco
English translation:amphoriskos
Entered by: Tania Pires

Art/Literary - History / Roman Villae
Portuguese term or phrase: anforisco
'Por toda a cidade, mas em especial nesta zona, foram encontrados fragmentos de pequenos recipientes, de tipo unguentário ou anforisco, que documentam o controlo da actividade comercial por membros da administração civil'

From what I was able to find, this is a small amphora. Now, I can't seem to find a proper term for it in English, if there is one.

Thanks in advance for your help!
