Editor's Notes:
Image is representative, Year initiated is an assumption; year is sometime between 1990 (purchase) and 1996 (return), when the piece had been restored and was shown in the museum. WHERE IS IT NOW? The tripod is currently housed and on display at the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giuli in Rome, Italy.
