Thin-walled bronze tho-situla with green-turquoise patina, flared, cylindrical body, broad round foot and wide, horizontal mouth rim with two small, vertical handles. The body is decorated with four bands of vertical hatching in fine relief, the rim with an ornamental circular border in shallow relief. With patina!
