Hand-Crafted Copy of an Ancient Greek Amphora with Poseidon Motif

This item is a hand-crafted decorative vase, explicitly labeled as a "Hand Crafted Copy of an Ancient Greek Amphora Poseidon." It appears to be made of ceramic or pottery, featuring a dual-handled amphora shape with a relatively narrow neck and a flared rim. The primary color scheme consists of a distressed or marbled red and white background on the body, transitioning to a dark red or burgundy on the neck and handles. Gold accents are prominently featured, including bands around the neck, rim, and base, as well as stylized foliate or scroll patterns on the upper portion of the body and around the base of the handles. The most distinguishing feature is the black and white illustration of a bearded male figure, presumably Poseidon, in profile on the body of the vase. This figure is depicted with long, flowing white hair and beard, wearing a decorated crown or headpiece with red details. The craftsmanship appears to be reasonably detailed for a decorative copy, with clear lines in the depiction of the figure. The surface shows a somewhat aged or crackled appearance in the red and white areas, possibly intentionally to mimic antiquity. There are no immediately visible signs of significant damage such as chips or cracks, and the colors appear vibrant. A small tag or label is partially visible on the right side of the vase, suggesting it is either new with tags or from a retail environment, as also indicated by the "New with tags" description. The quality of the reproduction suggests it is intended as a decorative piece rather than a precise archaeological replica, emphasizing aesthetic appeal and craftsmanship.
