Provenance : Fabrizio Savi collection, acquired from Anthony J. Allen, Auckland, New Zealand, between 1995 and 2000.
This kind of container - whose shape evidently resembles the coeval Roman cistas - could be used to heat wine in a bain-marie or to contain food. However, it is unlikely that it was used to heat drinks or cook food because the legs are obviously too short. Its shape also recalls more ancient lacquered wood containers that were used to store cosmetics.
