Description

Etruscan chandelier with a hollow cone in the center of the basin with engraved palmette and lotus flower decoration. The chandelier has sixteen spouts between which there are as many protomes of Acheloo. The decoration of the lower face takes place in concentric circles: in the center is a gorgoneion, around a band with pairs of animals depicting one prey and the other the predator; around it is a wave band surmounted by dolphins. Under the spouts there are alternately sirens and silenes; the latter play the syringe or the double flute.
