 bronze; the base is apparently a separate piece of metal; the form 

 reminds one strongly of Hallstatt and Watch.

 Period, Late Iron age. 



Height to the rim, 19 cm.

Fig. 5. — Vase of situla shape 

 in clay; there are on it parallel 

 bands originally colored alter- 

 nately black and red; this fea- 

 ture is particularly to be noted 

 in the pottery in the Museum at 

 Este. (Other smaller vases, also 

 expanding upward and with re- 

 entrant rims, occur in the col- 

 lection.) 



Vide Montelius, Ser. B, 58, 9 (Este). 



Period, Late Iron age. 



Height, 24 cm.

OTHER OBJECTS 



Fig. 6. — A fragment cut prob- 

 ably from one of the long-bones 

 of a large animal; it carries a zig- 

 zag incised decoration, and per- 

 forations as for the attachment 

 of a top and bottom. No satis- 

 factory explanation of its pur- 

 pose has been put forward; it 

 may have been a box or a stand- 

 ard, or perhaps a revetement for 

 the handle of an implement.
