BRONZE SITULA. 16TH CENTURY.

Antiques -
Reference: Z5937

Acetre. Bronze. Century XVI. Bronze piece that has a circular foot, and a circular body, with a mouth that extends outwards at the top, and a decoration in relief in this last area of masks that are reminiscent of certain Renaissance pieces with Medusa (the rings for the handle arise from two of these elements). This acetre, a vessel for holy water also known as a situla, is a piece that, in this religious context, appeared in the West in the Middle Ages. The present example is inspired by Renaissance pieces both in its lines and in its decoration and, therefore, is also reminiscent of works from Ancient Rome (situla of the Landesmuseum in Hannover, etc.).
