Terracotta stemmed plate
These two plates (grouped with separable object, 23.130.11), elegantly incised with variations of a lotus and palmette frieze, are the only certain examples in the Museum's collection made by an Italic people called the Capenates. This small ethnic group, speaking a dialect related to Sabine, lived in a region of Central Italy between the Etruscans and the Faliscans. Their major city, Capena, was conquered by the Romans in 395 B.C.
