Etruscan Pitcher with Incised Decoration in the Getty Villa, July 2008

Etruscan Pitcher with Incised Decoration in the Getty Villa, July 2008
Pitcher with Incised Decoration
Etruscan, 640-620 BC
Terracotta
Bucchero olpe

Etruscan decorative motifs were often influenced by luxur goods imported from around the Mediterranean region. Animal friezes like those incised on this pitcher also appear on Near Eastern gold and silver vessels. The shape and the scale pattern on the shoulder were derived from Corinthian pottery, which may have also inspired the popular motif of the dog attacking the boar.
