Note su una applique a testa femminile bifronte e altri elementi figurati in bucchero dal santuario di Portonaccio a Veio e riflessioni sulla produzione locale

In the context of an overall study of the production of the bucchero in Veii, the still unpublished materials found in the excavations of Enrico Stefani in the eastern sector of the sanctuary of Portonaccio bear witness of the level of the local workshops and of the existence of productions specifically intended for the attendance of the sacred area. Among these, a two-faced female protome applique with a polos decorated with a cervid, perhaps pertaining to the decoration of a piece of furniture, may be interpreted as a precious image of Artemis, adding to other evidences of the devotion to the goddess in the great suburban sanctuary of Veii.
