Everything about Pelike totally explained
A
pelike is a one-piece
ceramic container similar to an
amphora.
It has two open handles that are vertical on their lateral aspects and even at the side with the edge of the belly, a narrow neck, a flanged mouth, and a sagging, almost spherical belly.
Unlike the often-pointed bottom of many amphorae, the pelike's bottom is always flanged so it'll stand on its own.
Pelikes are often intricately painted, usually depicting a scene involving people. The shape first appeared at the end of the 6
th century BCE and continued to the 4
th century BCE.
