Bronze situla (bucket). Culture: Villanovan. Dimensions: H. 6 3/8 in. (16.2 cm); diameter of bottom  7 3/4 in. (19.7 cm). Date: 8th century B.C..
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.
