Cup with zoomorphic handles

3D Model

The cup is a small open vase with a hemispherical tank. In this specimen we have a slight workmanship of the body that has circular bands in relief. The cup is decorated with plastic shape additions on the edge and on the handles that have pairs of small horns and stylized animal head. On the outer side, under the hem, there is a zigzag pattern. In the lower part we find, a meander pattern (also called Greek) of white color, is perhaps the residual of a mastic glue used to adhere a decoration of metallic lamellae now lost. On the inner bottom there are two concentric rows of small studs. It was made with clay modeled with the technique of the “colombino” which involves the creation of long cords of clay rolled one over the other and then smoothed together with wet hands.
