Holy water vessel. Bronze. 16th century. This bronze piece features a circular base and a circular body with an outward-curving mouth at the top. The upper part is decorated with relief masks reminiscent of certain Renaissance pieces depicting Medusa (the rings for the handle emerge from two of these masks). This holy water vessel, also known as a situla, is a type of object that appeared in the West during the Middle Ages within this religious context. This particular example draws inspiration from Renaissance pieces in both its lines and decoration, and thus also evokes works from Ancient Rome (such as the situla in the Landesmuseum in Hanover).
