Bronze basin with six legs, Geometric, legs: ca. 700–650 ; handled basin: 6th century , Late Villanovan and Etruscan, Bronze, H. 9 in. ( cm), Bronzes, Such basins, decorated with abstract horsemen and birds, are especially common at Vetulonia, a probable site of manufacture. Most examples have only three legs and a basin without handles. Because the six legs on this piece are of two distinct types, it is likely that the object is really a pastiche composed of disparate ancient elements: two sets of solid-cast legs from about 700–650 B
