Document Details : Title: Vasellame metallico configurato a sirena Subtitle: Conatti ed influenze tra Etruria, Grecia e Magna Grecia Author(s): AMBROSINI, Laura Journal: BABESCH Volume: 88 Date: 2013 Pages: 55-87 DOI: 10.2143/BAB.88.0.2987075 Abstract : The study focuses on an Etruscan bronze vase in the form of a siren, worked in sphyrelaton and repoussé technique and decorated with gold leaf. The processing technique and the comparisons with bronzes from Greece and Magna Graecia show a strong Corinthian influence, just softened by the effects of the Ionic style. The vase, made in Vulci in the second quarter of the 6th century BC and probably found in a tomb, was certainly connected to the symposium. In the archaic age the equation sea = wine may have helped to identify the siren in the savior of the soul of the deceased. |
