A lead-glazed skyphos with figurative relief decoration from the Sanctuary of Reitia in Este (Italy)

Abstract

The Sanctuary of Reitia was discovered in 1880 in Este in the property of Domenico Baratella. Between 1880 and 1890 the Sanctuary was excavated by the landowners; then, from 1987 to 1991, it was systematically investigated by the Institut für Ur-und Frühgeschichte of the University of Cologne, under the direction of Professor Dr. Heinz-Werner Dämmer, who is overseeing the publication of any materials found and funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
