Beautiful amphoras for sure! PERFECT condition seems to be a stretch. All shown in the photos have broken handles. Maybe archaeologically speaking that’s considered perfect. OR maybe they don’t want to show the good stuff for some other reason.

For a 2,500 year old tomb, undisturbed by looters would qualify it for “perfect condition”. Damage to the contents from ground settling, earthquakes, and a certain famous volcano going off nearby are acceptable. And much of the “good stuff” is probably in those amphorae, broken handles and all.
