This Aretine sigillata kantharos originates from Tomb I of the Poggio Pinci Necropolis in Asciano and dates to the 1st century BCE. Decorated with oblique motifs impressed by a “wheel” within the bowl, it exemplifies a decorative style typical of Aretine pottery. Aretine sigillata, valued for its brilliance and quality, was a high-quality ceramic of the Roman era. This kantharos, displayed at the Museo Palazzo Corboli in Asciano, offers insight into the elegance and refinement of everyday objects in ancient times.
