An amphora was a storage jar, dating to around 520-510 B.C.E.
The warrior wearing the leopard/lion skin appears to to exhibiting some close quarters combat skill. He has stepped on his enemy's spear to neutralize it and has gripped the helmet by the crest. He is also using his elbow to help hold his foe down as he stabs him the back with his sword. Interesting to not the sword is held in a reverse or icepick grip.
