Terracotta stand with a satyr. Culture: Etruscan. Dimensions: total H. 9 3/4 in. (24.8cm); diameter of lip 5 15/16 in. (15cm). Date: late 4th century B.C..These objects, with squatting satyrs oriented to left and right, are clearly pendants. The funnel-shaped elements could function as vases, but they are more likely supports for vessels such as pointed amphorae, which could not stand alone. They are unique in Etruscan art for their combination of funnel-like supports with figural, three-dimensional sculptures. But a similar pair of nude males, perhaps also satyrs, appears painted on a wall of the Tomb of the Orcus II at Tarquinia that dates to about 325-300 B.C. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
