The Roman original is recognised as one of the finest and best-preserved examples of these types of vessels with strigilated, or scaped, S-shaped reliefs carved across the body. The serpents, with their mouths seemingly biting the rim, were associated with funerals as well as chthonian, or underworld, powers, and were regarded by the Greeks and Romans as guardians of scared places, houses, and tombs. However, in the absence of a funerary inscription, it’s impossible to determine whether this vase was originally intended as an ash urn or created for purely decorative use. Our reinterpretation has been crafted with a marble finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:24px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGeneral info:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiber glass | antique finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIndoor\/outdoor:\u003c\/b\u003e Indoor use\/dry locations only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e TM0041\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:24px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eW. 58 | D. 49 | H. 48 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eW. 22.83″ | D. 19.29″ | H. 18.90″ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDownloads:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.eichholtz.com\/usa\/eichholtz_catalog\/ajax\/pdfFile\/type\/itemspecificationsheets\/id\/TM0041\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eItem Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eichholtz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48057325715688,"sku":"TM0041","price":2495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/0815\/3576\/files\/TM0041_0_1_1.jpg?v=1770917302","url":"https:\/\/www.eichholtzatlanta.com\/products\/eichholtz-vase-antonine-tm0041","provider":"Eichholtz Atlanta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
