Abstract
An amphora painted with a palmette motif dating from the 4th century BC was brought to light
during the excavation of the Area B at Motya in 1989. The shape is a popular amphora type in the
Punic ceramic repertoire, while the decoration, both in design and iconography, appear as an
outcome of shared and hybridized motifs between the Phoenician and the Greek elements co-habiting
in Motya during its latest phase of life
