The Etruscan World (Routledge Worlds)

  • Jean Gran-Aymerich with Jean MacIntosh Turfa –


isolated discoveries in Cayla de Mailhac (Languedoc) and Le Cigarralejo in Mula (Murcia).
Schnabelkannen are classifi ed according to their handles and handle-attachments (anchor,
palmette, serpent). The oinochoai with handle in the form of a youth are illustrated
by localized examples in the Celtic hinterland at Schwarzenbach (Fig. 19.8); by several
examples from Carthage, of which some appear to be Etrusco-Campanian; and in Spain
by the handles from Malaga, from Pozo Moro (Albacete), and from Cuenca (Castilla-La
Mancha).^45 Squat oinochoai of the Plumpekanne-type appear in the Celtic hinterland at
Hatten (Bas-Rhin), and in the Mediterranean, with variants at Aléria (where rounded
oinochoai of Beazley type IX are better known), and possibly also at Cayla de Mailhac
and at Carthage.
Small olpai with raised handles, well represented at Aléria, are equally well known
on the littoral and in the Iberian backlands: El Oral (San Fulgencio, Alacant-Alicante),
Alcurrucén (Pedro Abad, Cordoba), Escuera and Mirador de Rolando (Granada), Cabecio
del Tesoro (Murcia), Segóbriga (Cuenca). Concerning the two examples from the former
