Amfoor
'n Afoor (meervoud: amfora) is 'n tipe keramiekvaas met twee handvatsels en 'n lang nek wat dunner is as die liggaam.
Die woord amphora is Latyns, afgelei van die Grieks amphoreus (αμφορεύς), 'n afkorting van amphiphoreus (αμφιφορεύς), 'n saamgestelde woord wat amphi- ("aan beide kante") plus phoreus ("draer"), van pherein ("om te dra"), wat verwys na die houer se twee handvatsels aan teenoorgestelde kante.
