ITALIAN AND ETRUSCAN POTTERY (H 1-240).
i. THE PRIMITIVE POTTERY OF LATIUM (h 1-54).
H 1. HUT-URN. Ht. 13 in. Length 15 in. Old Cat., No. 1. Found at Monte Albano in
1817. Presented in 1840 by W. R. Hamilton, Esq., to whom it was given by Canova in 1821.
Birch, Ancient Pottery? p. 446 ; Walters, Ancient Pottery, II. pi. 57, p. 288; Dennis, Etruria? I.
p. lxix.; Murray, Handbook of Gk. Archaeology, pi. 1, fig. 5 ; Brit. Mus. Guide to Gk. and Rom.
Life, p. 228, fig. 237. Coarse dark brown polished ware.
In the form of the tugurium or rustic
cottage of the early inhabitants of Italy ;
oblong shape with rounded corners ; at one
end a movable door with jambs and lintel,
flanked by perpendicular ridges and grooves,
which perhaps represent tree-trunks. On each
side of the roof are five ribs, meeting at
the top of the ridge, in imitation of roof-
timbers, and at each end is a raised pattern
in the form of an E with gable over, like a
dormer window. A projecting moulding runs
round the base, and in the middle of the door
is a knob, pierced, as are the jambs, for a bar.
The surface appears to have been painted, as
traces of a rude maeander and another pattern
in white can be observed in places. The interior is filled with burnt bones.
