Description: | This Italian vessel is an example of a `situla', a type of container used to hold holy water. The body is heavily carved with Christian imagery and an inscription runs around the rim. The original situla, of which this is a plaster of Paris copy, was made in the 10th Century and is now in the Duomo Milan.
