| Description |
Though it served a different function and comes
from a widely different culture, this delightful
vessel strongly resembles Etruscan funerary urns
dating to the 7th Century B.C. As with the
Etruscan urns, this fellow seems very aware of
his pedigree. Atop the bulbous body, the face
regards us with an artistocratic hauteur, certain
of his standing in the kingdom of the pots.
