DESCRIPTION: This ORIENTAL STYLE Greek Jar is an AMPHORA: an all-purpose storage jar. This one contained the corpse of a little boy.
1. Orientalized--with Persian elements, palmettes and rosettes
2. Rather unique. Very un-greek and very Asian is the animal scene. Most Greek stuff does NOT have animals.
3.Odysseus is blinding Polyphemus the giant in Homer's story
