Cf. Montelius, O., La civilisation primitive en Italie depuis l'introduction des métaux, Stockholm, 1895-1910; Reunion des Musées Nationaux, Les Etrusques et l’Europe, Milano, 1992; Marzatico, F. and Gleirscher, P.

Property of a Woolwich collector. Accompanied by an archaeological report by Dr Raffaele D’Amato. The wave decoration, introduced in Greece by the Achaeans under the influence of the Cretan Minoans and utilised in wall paintings and pottery, became an important motif of Greek art and, especially in the period of the formation of the Italic societies, was quickly imported in the decorative patterns of the Villanovan and Proto-Italic cultures. Terracotta pots from Corneto and Livorno (see Montelius, series B, pl.169) are substantially identical in shape, although the decoration is different. [No Reserve] Fine condition.
