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.Image13" x 5" x 6"SculptureTerra cotta, black-figure styleFor use information see: http://www.willamette.edu/arts/hfma/collections/copyright.html
