Description:
Small eared cup. Description from Matteucig (1951): Kylix; height: 6.5 cm; diameter: 14.5 cm. (see Matteucig's plate II, 4). Clay pale buff, well purified; highly polished surface. Low cup with slightly offset rim, two "pinched" vertical handles, perhaps intended to be theriomorphic, (birds' heads?). Low, hollow foot, with a projecting cone in the center. Very well preserved, except for a few chipped-off particles, some lime deposits, and a few splotches of red paint scattered on the surface. The pedigree of this shape is not clear. Boehlau calls a kylix in Berlin which is just like ours a "Greek import," (J.d.L, XV, 1900, p. 169, no. 19), which I doubt. The vase seems closely related to Etruscan metalwork; cf. MUÍ. Greg., Pt. I, PI. XIX, for a silver parallel from Caere, and Montelius, pi. 311, 4, from Falerii, pi. 215, 8, and pi. 339, 4 from the Regolini-Galassi tomb. Cf. J.d.L, XV, 1900, p. 159, fig. 4, i, for a parallel from Poggio Buco. Mancinelli, in his inventory, p. 3, no. 8, says that this is a constant type in tombe a fossa semplice, a type which some times, as in tomb XV, from Sparne, is decorated with red geometric designs. For the latest treatment of these vases, cf. Dohan, PI. XLIX, 16-18, and p. 96.
