Ornamented Rod Tripod (Primary Title)
Unknown (Artist)
This three-footed stand for a bowl was produced in Vulci, one of the most important Etruscan bronze-working centers. The relief appliqués show a feline attacking a deer on each arch and pairs of figures between the arches (one of which shows the hero Herakles with a woman). Though primarily household objects, tripods were popular dedications to the gods and prizes in athletic contests.
