Roman Vessel Stand with Lion's Paws in the Getty Villa, July 2008

Roman Vessel Stand with Lion's Paws in the Getty Villa, July 2008
Vessel Stand with Lion's Paws
Roman, made in Campania, 1-79 AD

Stands like this one typically supported large metal vessels used for mixing wine and water at drinking parties. Delicately designed with four lion's paws, this stand may have held a purely decorative vessel.
