Description
Situlae were vessels used to pour offerings of milk or water in purification rituals. They take the form of a human breast and were associated with the goddess Isis. Incense burners were also used extensively in temple and funerary ceremonies. Incense, considered a purifying element, was offered to honor the gods, kings, and the dead.
This situla is decorated in raised relief. The central frieze depicts a series of striding deities and worshipers. The base features a lotus petal motif, a symbol of rebirth.
