Villanovan Bronze Situla in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2018
Bronze situla (bucket)
Date:8th century B.C.
Culture:Villanovan
Medium:Bronze
Dimensions:H. 6 3/8 in. (16.2 cm); diameter of bottom 7 3/4 in. (19.7 cm)
Classification: Bronzes
Credit Line: Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917
Accession Number:17.190.2128
The precise function of early vessels like this one is unknown. However, by the sixth century B.C., similar objects were represented as banqueting vessels with wine or some other drink being ladled from them. Interestingly, the decorative patterns on the lower portion of this example are precisely paralleled on contemporaneous bronze shields.
