Description:
|
The stamnos is a broad-shouldered, round-shaped vessel, with a low foot and a low neck. Its two horizontal handles usually curl upwards to some degree. Most have been found in Etruria. The Faliscan language is known through an estimated 355 inscriptions, some on red-figured vases. The Falisci (Faliscans) were allies of the Etruscans. This vase is from Falerii (now Civita Castellana), the main city of the Faliscans. It is decorated with a Dionysiac scene. [Information from museum label.]
