Terracotta stemmed kyathos (single-handled cup) — Unknown

Oversized, elaborately decorated wine cups of this type are popular products of bucchero workshops at Vulci. Some are too large and heavy, especially when filled, to have been used by living banqueters. They may have been made expressly for the dead.
