Due cup-skyphoi della bottega del Pittore di Haimon dal Tofet di Mozia

Two cup-skyphoi in the Manner of the Haimon Painter was brought to light in the Tophet of Motya during the excavations 1964-1965 carried out by Institute of Studies of the Near East at Rome and directed by Antonia Ciasca. The analysis of these vessels gives the opportunity both to reflect on the value of Attic Fine Ware in a Phoenician-Punic sanctuary and to question the symbolic meaning of a Greek iconography found in a Punic context with the purpose of using pottery as a means of looking at the ritual also with the eyes of the other.
