This aryballos, discovered in Tomb O of the Molinello Tumulus in Asciano and dating to the first half of the 6th century BCE, features a globular body typical of the Etrusco-Corinthian style. The outer surfaces are enriched with dotted and linear decorations in reddish glaze, adding a refined aesthetic to this small container for perfumed oils. Now displayed at the Museo Palazzo Corboli in Asciano, the aryballos represents a significant example of Etruscan pottery with Corinthian influences.
