Fig. 7 — H: 7 = Este, Boldu-Dolfin I. Detail of situla; 8 = Detail of bucchero frieze. The griffons of seventh century Etruscan work recall the important links between Etruria and the ,situla' style centred on Este( 67 ) although it is the later form of Greek griffon with wide-open beak of с 600 ВС and after which is particularly important for our purpose. O.-H. Frey has drawn attention to an incised vase from Veii, unfortunately now lost, of с 600 ВС date( 68 ) (fig. 5-6) which has good sickleBC. J. Near Eastern Studies, XIX, I960, 1-14.

The frontal facing winged lions are not only on such pieces as the Veii vase but also on actual situlae such as Este, Boldù-Dolfin I( C9 ) (fig. 7) ; one can see here perhaps not so much an ancestral but again a parallel variation on orientalizing archetypes to that represented by the ,lion' of the Dürkheim gold strip ( 70 ) (PI. VI, 1) and perhaps even the Chynovsky Háj, Prague Maskenfibel, (PI. VI, 2) a piece closely related to Maskenfibeln of the Oberwittighausen type centred on southern Germany( n ) (PI. VI, 3). We may also note here the incised bucchero ware friezes whose clean-shaven and profile sphinx heads have many of the characteristics of Celtic physiognomy( 72 ) (fig. 8) — as foundgain on the Hallstatt (68) O.-H.
