Title: Handle of a jug (situla) Date: 1st century CE Culture: Rome Medium: Copper alloy Dimensions: H. 5 7/8 in. (15 cm); W. 1 15/16 in. (5 cm); D. 3 1/8 in. (8 cm) Classification: Metalwork Credit Line: Lent by Town Hall Museum, Kolhapur Object Number: TS.363 Rights and Reproduction: Courtesy of Kolhapur Town Hall Museum A hoard of thirty-seven bronze and copper objects was excavated in 1945 at Brahmapuri, in Kolhapur, western India. The cosmopolitan mix of indigenous Indian objects and Roman imports suggests a merchant’s inventory of goods destined for sale in the Satavahana territories of the Deccan. The bronze Poseidon is one of many miniature copies after the lost original by the Greek sculptor Lysippos, images of which were issued on coins as early as 290 BCE. The group of locally produced miniature bronzes, including the toy cart and elephant with riders, points to an indigenous market for luxury novelties in metal. Other items in the hoard, including the spouted vessel, ring fitting, and set of auspicious symbols, suggest ritual use. Text from: .https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/815793

Title: Situla with a Frieze of Athletic Contests Artist/Maker: Unknown Culture: Roman Place: Roman Empire (Place created) Date: A.D. 75–100 Medium: Bronze Object Number: 96.AC.41 Dimensions: 9.5 × 14 cm (3 3/4 × 5 1/2 in.) Alternate Titles: Bowl with Wrestlers (Display Title) Object Type: Situla Encircling the round body of this bronze situla, nude athletes, boxers, and wrestlers compete fiercely under the supervision of a judge who carries palm branches and a wreath. Prizes--a kantharos or cup, basins on stands, and wreaths--are displayed between the groups of figures. Vessels similar in shape and technique have been found in Gaul, a Roman province incorporating present-day France; these bronze situlae were probably manufactured there. Furthermore, the low rounded form of this vessel recalls the shape of Gallic vessels made of clay or glass. This situla originally had a handle, which is now missing. Rough areas on the shoulder of the situla mark the points where the handle was once attached.

Title: Gnathian Situla Artist/Maker: Attributed to the Workshop of the Konnakis Painter (Greek (Gnathia), active about 375 - 350 B.C.) Culture: Greek (South Italian, Apulian) Place: Apulia, South Italy, Europe (Place created) Date: about 350 B.C. Medium: Terracotta Object Number: 96.AE.118 Dimensions: 21.9 cm (8 5/8 in.) Credit Line: Gift of Barbara and Lawrence Fleischman Alternate Titles: Bucket with a Comic Actor (Display Title) Vase-painters working in the Greek colonies in South Italy frequently showed scenes of theatrical performances. Phlyax plays, popular in the 300s and 200s B.C., were farces parodying the heroes and themes of mythology or the comic elements of everyday life. The term phlyax, which is used for both the play and the costumed actors, probably derives from the Greek verb "to swell" and finds its meaning in the actors' costumes. They wore a mask, tights, a padded tunic, and a large artificial phallus; any other garments necessary for the role were worn over this. This Gnathian ware situla depicts a phlyax moving to the right along a dotted ground line while looking back over his shoulder. The economical scene makes it impossible to know what play is shown, but the figure is meant to be an African. As well as decorating vases in the red-figure technique, Apulian vase-painters created a type of pottery that scholars call Gnathian ware. In this technique, artisans glazed the entire surface of the vase black, then painted on the figures in added colors. This type of pottery began around 360 B.C. and was very popular in the period from about 350 to 325 B.C.

Bronze situla (bucket) Date:8th century B.C. Culture:Villanovan Medium:Bronze Dimensions:H. 6 3/8 in. (16.2 cm); diameter of bottom 7 3/4 in. (19.7 cm) Classification: Bronzes Credit Line: Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917 Accession Number:17.190.2128 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. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/249233

Situla (Bucket) for Holy Water Ivory with copper-alloy gilt mounts and inlays Carolingian, from the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, Cranenburg, northern Germany. Carved 860-880 or later, possibly in Reims, northern France Accession # 17.190.45 Buckets such as these were used in the sprinkling of holy water upon the faithful during processions. Examples in ivory are exceptionally rare; this is probably the earliest of only four that are known. Here, the entire surface is decorated with scenes from the life of Christ. On the lower register: the Annunciation to the Virgin, the Visitation of Elizabeth to the Virgin, the Nativity, the Dream of Joseph, the Baptism of Christ. On the upper register: the Betrayal of Christ, the Flagellation, the Last Supper, the Ascension, the Three Women at Christ's Tomb, and the Crucifixion.

Title: Glass situla (bucket) with silver handles Medium; Technique: Glass with silver handles; cast Culture: Greek Period: Late Classical or Early Hellenistic Date: late 4th–early 3rd century B.C. Dimensions: Overall: 10 1/2 x 8 x 6 3/4in. (26.7 x 20.3 x 17.1cm) Classification: Glass Credit Line: Purchase, The Bernard and Audrey Aronson Charitable Trust Gift, in memory of her beloved husband, Bernard Aronson, 2000 Accession Number: 2000.277 Description: The situla was used for cooling and serving wine at banquets. This one is made of almost colorless glass. It was cast and carved, and then bands of gilded and painted decoration were applied around the outside. The vessel is highly unusual in both shape and decoration, and few parallels in glass are known. It may, however, be compared with metal examples such as the bronze situla of the Prusias Find, which is displayed in the gallery for Greek art of the fourth century B.C.

Title: Situla with a Frieze of Athletic Contests Artist/Maker: Unknown Culture: Roman Place: Roman Empire (Place created) Date: A.D. 75–100 Medium: Bronze Object Number: 96.AC.41 Dimensions: 9.5 × 14 cm (3 3/4 × 5 1/2 in.) Alternate Titles: Bowl with Wrestlers (Display Title) Object Type: Situla Encircling the round body of this bronze situla, nude athletes, boxers, and wrestlers compete fiercely under the supervision of a judge who carries palm branches and a wreath. Prizes--a kantharos or cup, basins on stands, and wreaths--are displayed between the groups of figures. Vessels similar in shape and technique have been found in Gaul, a Roman province incorporating present-day France; these bronze situlae were probably manufactured there. Furthermore, the low rounded form of this vessel recalls the shape of Gallic vessels made of clay or glass. This situla originally had a handle, which is now missing. Rough areas on the shoulder of the situla mark the points where the handle was once attached.
