The covers in Antiparos are generally made of metal

 

and are circular

 

, rectangular

 

, or square

 

.

No colored or gilded covers have been found in Antiparos, nor have any covers bearing the town’s coat of arms.

In most cases, the utility served by the covers is unknown, making it difficult to determine their purpose. Sewer covers sometimes bear the inscription SEWER

 

, while drainage covers can occasionally be identified by the EN1083 drainage channel standard

 

.

Most of the covers are fairly conventional in design and resemble those found elsewhere in Greece.

Manufacturers
Most covers were manufactured by the Greek companies Delta Zita

 

or IAS

 

.

Standards
The covers frequently bear the European EN124 standard

 

and its associated load classes (A15–D400)

 

. Other international standards have also been found.
