Situla Benvenuti

Situla Benvenuti

The so-called Situla Benvenuti is a bronze situla that dates ca. 600 B.C. It is a product of the Este culture that flourished in Este, Veneto during the 7th century BC. The vessel is now conserved in the local National Museum Atestino.[1] The relief work on the vessel depicts scenes of aristocratic life.[2] These include banquetting as well as scenes of military victory. The iconography of the relief scenes of the situla may indicate Etruscan influence.[3]
