This Etruscan lebes, dating back to around 725 BC, is a fine example of early Etruscan pottery. Its elegant form and intricate geometric and animal motifs, incised into the clay surface, are characteristic of this period. The lebes was likely used for storing and serving food or drink, and its presence in a modern museum highlights the enduring legacy of Etruscan artistry. The lebes is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
