On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 170

Tripods composed of solid cast rods with lion-paw feet and the foreparts of lions and ducks supporting a hammered collar were often produced at Vulci, one of the major bronze-working centers of the Etruscan world. A related but more ornate example (60.11.11) is on view nearby.
