AN HANDMADE PRODUCT IN BRONZE

Archaeological Museum "San Lorenzo"

The private space

Among the precious pieces of furniture, there is a beautiful handmade product in bronze, coming from Calvatone, whose function is still not clear: it has been considered a footrest on the basis of the comparison with other materials coming from the Vesuvius area.

Recently, it was proposed the idea that it could be a tray or a beautiful serving object used during the banquet for delicious food.
