1st-2nd century A.D. A bronze ladle comprising a hemispherical bowl with a flat-section handle, ribbed bulb above and round-section hook with collar detailing, finial formed as a swan head with punched eyes. Cf. Tassinari, S., La Vaisselle de Bronze, Romaine et Provinciale, au Musée des Antiquités Nationales, XXIXe supplément de Gallia, Paris, 1975, items 40-3, for ladles with similar animal-head finials; cf. also Boucher, S., Inventaire des Collections Publiques Françaises - 17 Vienne: Bronzes Antiques, Paris, 1971; pp.168-169, for similar specimens. 145 grams, 27 cm (10 5/8 in). UK private collection before 2000. UK art market. Property of a London gentleman. This type of ladle was used for libations of wine to the gods during sacrifices. The shape of the simpulum was that of a small cup, with a single elongated handle. The material of which it was made varied according to the wealth of the altar; there were specimens in silver; some were of brass and others made of wood or terracotta. This simpulum or simpuvium is often found depicted on Roman medals. Thus a coin of the gens Seslia bears on the reverse a tripod having on its left a sacena oracieris, or pontifical axe (securis pontificalis) and on its right a simpulum. Another coin, belonging to the gens Sulpicia, displays a simpulum between a knife and a sacena oracieris on the reverse. Fine condition.
c.540-460 B.C. A terracotta kyathos or single-handled cup composed of a carinated body with deep shoulder, high handle, slender stem and broad foot. See Rasmussen, Bucchero Pottery from Southern Etruria, p.116; pl.36, no.203, is closest in form to this example (this is Rasmussen’s kyathos type 4b). 340 grams, 17.7 cm high (7 in). Private Orange County collection, USA. Ancient Resource, auction 28, 1 March 2014, lot 220. Private Australian collection. Accompanied by an illustrated two page collector's cataloguing document. Accompanied by a copy of the Ancient Resources listing. The kyathos was used to ladle wine mixed with water from a krater into a drinking cup. Rasmussen, ibid., notes that this is the commonest of the kyathoi in the first half of the sixth century, and most examples can be dated to this period. The type begins in the last quarter of the seventh century and may last up to the third quarter of the sixth. Rasmussen notes that the handle is given a plain crest or is simply thickened and is usually surmounted by a flat button as in this instance. Such pieces may be undecorated or, alternatively, have incised lines or vertical striations on the bowl, as well as groups of incised lines. Turfa, Catalogue of the Etruscan Gallery, p.199, suggests that this simple form with the flattened crest or button on top of the handle, the most canonical of its category, seems to have been made in Caeretan workshops, and probably elsewhere; Tarquinian examples were more ornate. There are many parallels and variants on this type. Examples include CVA Parma – Museo di Antichità II, pl.6.5 (Inv. C.308), height 17.0cm, dated to the second half of the sixth century; example from first half of sixth century from Orvieto in the Etruscan Gallery at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MS 3214); published as no.202, in Turfa, ibid., p.199. Hayes, Etruscan and Italic Pottery in the Royal Ontario Museum, p.79, no.C27, is an example at 17.5cm high with two groups of four shallow grooves (in continuous spirals) around lower part of body. [No Reserve] For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price Fine condition, handle restored.
