Etrusco-Corinthian plate. Attributed to the Rosoni Painter (ca. 580 BCE). Description from Matteucig (1951): Plate; height: 5.2 cm; diameter: 24.5 cm (see Matteucig's plate XIII, 18). Italo-Corinthian. Clay pale buff; cream slip; decoration in dark-brown and violet paint. Low plate with ring base; vertical lip, grooved below; at diametrically opposite sides, a small handle, made of a strip of clay which fits into the groove. In the center, four concentric circles; then an animal zone of panthers and ducks, divided by rosettes and other typical Corinthian fillings; lip brown. Under foot, a circle and two sets of diametrically opposite groups of four petals. Cf. Not. Sc., 1898, p. 442, fig. 7, from Poggio Buco. Perhaps Rosone style; see Beazley-Magi, p. 74, nos. 84,85.
