Griff-phialen dal santuario della Sorgente di Saturo (Ta): una sintesi sui tipi decorati con il motivo del leone

In the Greek bronze vessels from the Archaic and Classical periods, basins certainly are the most widespread shape, with a high number of formal and ornamental variants, in particular in the handles. Among these, of particular interest are some specimens in the shape of a lion in an elongated position or, in a simpler form, with only the attachment decorated with a lion’s protome. Two unpublished pieces from the Sanctuary of the Sorgente at Saturo (Ta) offer the opportunity for a review of both variants.
