Terracotta four-handled amphora (jar). Culture: Etruscan, Italo-Corinthian. Dimensions: H. 24 in. (61 cm); diameter 11 1/4 in. (28.6 cm). Date: ca. 675-650 B.C..Three felines and a winged hybridVases of the same elongated shape and with similar painted decoration have been found in the Monte Michele cemetery at Veii, just north of Rome. The type represents a local response to the animals painted on Protocorinthian pottery imported from Greece. Although the felines are standard types, the odd griffin-like hybrid is a unique invention. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
