An Iron Age Painted Amphora in the Cyprus Museum

View through CrossRef
This unique amphora (Plates 7 and 8) was recently presented to the Cyprus Museum by Wing-Commander O'Brien Hubbard of Kyrenia, who saved it from the hands of illicit diggers and dealers. It is with special pleasure that I am now publishing it in the volume of the Annual of the British School at Athens which appears in honour of Professor J. L. Myres, the founder of Cypriot Archaeology, to whom the Cyprus Museum in particular owes a debt of deep gratitude.
