Commentary
Find circumstances: The situla was retrieved from the Italian art trade. The indication of source - the Etruscan necropolis at the Certosa di Bologna - is doubtful (Frey 1962: 1); the fact that a related object (the Situla Certosa, Frey 1962: 59 Nr 4) was found there can either support or challenge the claim.
Provenance: Lucke (= Frey 1962) places the situla in the context of others from the area of the Eastern Alps and Northern Italy and assumes that it was manufactured by "Illyrians" in the valley of the Adige rather than in the South (p. 51), but Frey argues for locating a non-Etruscan workshop near Bologna (p. 57). The website of the RISD Museum, however, calls the object Etruscan.
Dating: Lucke (= Frey 1962) dates the situla to the 3rd quarter of the 6th century BC (p. 46, but see also the comments of Frey p. 55f). On the website of the RISD Museum the object's dating is given as 530 - 525 BC.
