Description: | Wine ladle used to ladle wine mixed with water from a krater into drinking cups. Black all over. Interior has a rounded base which rises to join a distinct shoulder and flat rim. The looped handle is topped with an animal head (cattle/dog/wolf) with a raised stylised tongue or snake emanating from its mouth. A double incised line runs down either side of the handle from the animal head and part way along the rim. On the reverse of the handle, another raised line runs down from the back of the animal head, possibly representing a stylised body. The returning loop of the handle joins the main body just below the shoulder rib. Below a slightly flared pedestal base with an old 'Borough of Nottingham Art Museum' label beneath and a fragment of thin glued paper with '£10' written on it in ink. Complete with slight wear on the ears/horns of the animal head. Etruscan Bucchero wear, the colour is produced not by a glaze but by using a reducing atmosphere in the kiln, using carbon monoxide rather than oxygen. At bottom of base label reads, 'Borough of Nottingham Art Museum. Reg No. 188/227'. '£10' also written in pencil on different label.
1888 Register claims object not of Greek origin but Etruscan. 6th-7th century BC.
