Fragment from the neck of a terracotta amphora

Fragment from the neck of a terracotta amphora. Culture: Cypriot. Dimensions: 4 5/8 x 11 in. (11.8 x 28 cm). Date: ca. 850-750 B.C.. Panel with two figures and the arms of a third; panel with one figure The representation(s) here most probably illustrate a narrative subject. A key to the interpretation lies in the identity of the horizontal shafts held by the figures in both panels. The figure on the right appears to be holding a spear, and he wears a belted garment of diamond shapes alternately reserved and glazed. At the left end of the fragment are the arms of an individual who holds a cup. Susan Langdon has raised the possibility that this is a very early depiction of the blinding of Polyphemos by Odysseus.
