Upper and middle shelf . Italo-geometric pottery
Banquet and symposium vessels, produced mainly in Vulci and in its territory,
in imitation of Greek pottery with geometric decoration.
This production began as early as the 8th century B.C., probably at the hands of
immigrated Greek artists, and continued into the following century with an increasingly stereotyped and repetitive style (‘metope style’).
On display in upper shelf are several ollae with geometric decoration of
“red on white” type, typical of the area of the middle Fiora tValley (Poggio Buco
and Pitigliano).
Lower shelf. Red-figure pottery
Main exhibits: red-figure krater and cup of Athenian production (500 – 450 B.C.)
red-figure stamnos and cup of Faliscan production (370 – 350 B.C.)
