Amphora woven the Sargent Vase is hand-formedUsing a centuries old American technique for making rugs, the Amphora is hand formed with cable that is woven on cast iron machines from the 1940s, a finely skilled sculpting process done by expert sewers. The Amphora is a reference to the un precious ceramic vase used in Ancient Greece and Rome for storage and transport of oil, wine, and sundries. More elaborately painted amphorae were awarded as prizes to the best runners in the Panathenaic Games,
