“Situla” vase

Title “Situla” vase

Description The jar was inspired by the so called “Celtic situlae”. The rim is rounded and features two deep grooving underneath. The ornaments consist of four circular buttons and vertically incised parallel comb strokes, placed on the entire surface of the vessel. The vase was used for storing food supplies. Due to the presence of graphite in the paste, which is an anticorrosive, it was assumed that these vessels were especially used for storing salt.
