| dc.description | Etrusco-Corinthian refers to a style of Etruscan pottery that imitates and adapts the Transitional and Ripe Corinthian style (in the black-figure technique) produced between 630 and about 540 BCE. Its main centers of production were located at Vulci, Caere, and Tarquinia, in Italy. Some characteristic features of the Etrusco-Corinthian style include grotesquely proportioned animal figures with shoulder markings that over time have become meaningless circles. This pear-shaped wine pitcher (olpe) is a remarkably well-preserved example of the style. The typical Etrusco-Corinthian animal motifs appear in three registers, created in a dark brown to red brown slip with added red and white paint, as well as incised details. The characteristic orientalizing decorative elements include rays, bands, rosettes and blob-rosettes, dogs, boars, goats, a goose, and a panther. | |
