Hypokraterion, a mixing vessel, Early Etruscan, 7th century B.C. A three-part ceramic stand made of light brown clay. The lower section is a slightly bulbous truncated cone with a rim flaring diagonally downward. Above this are two sections, each topped by an angular ridge and featuring five triangular windows. The upper section is lower than the lower one. In the center is a hollow, spherical section with five raised protrusions and five small, round holes between them. Above this is another angular ridge. The top is capped by a funnel-shaped bowl with a hole in the center, corresponding to a hole in the lower base of the middle, spherical section. The funnel-shaped bowl, with a wall inclination of approximately 45 degrees, ends at the top with an obtuse-angled rim sloping outward, approximately 3.5 cm wide, which features three concentric flutes on the upper surface and two grooves on the exterior. The bowl is assembled from large shards with no missing pieces. The two lower sections are completely intact. Total height: 33.5 cm. Width at the rim: 20.7 cm. CULTURAL HERITAGE! Provenance: Private collection in Upper Austria (estate), acquired by the father in the 1980s on the Austrian and southern German art market. Condition: I–II
