## VB0089

Image 1 shows a frontal view of an ancient painted amphora, and Image 2 shows the same amphora viewed from an angle centered on one of its two vertical handles. By matching the painted neck scene, vertical geometric border strips, and lower body figures visible next to the handle in Image 2 against Image 1, which side of Image 1 corresponds to the handle centered in Image 2?

Rules: Match specific visible painted features—such as the direction the neck figure faces, the vertical inscription beside its back, and the vertical border strips—between the two views.
