Getty Museum photo of a translucent, dark blue, two-handled, glass flask (amphoriskos) against a grey background. The free-blown body is bulbous in shape, with a narrow neck with a flattened rim. The two handles were added afterwards and attach to the body and mouth. The handle on the right has been attached slightly higher up on the body than the other side. Height 10.5 cm. There is some incrustation on the interior of the glass.

Thanks ever so much William.
It's just private messages are no longer available in the UK unless you give your details. I believe it's due to recent legislation supposed to protect younger people, but it affects us all. As there are other options, I'll hold out as long as possible!

While it says it's a competition (simply because we don't have time to air every single entry, sadly), think of it more as a celebration of communication through audio. Can be anything from a digital creation to something recorded live on location. Enjoy messing about with sounds!
