The Gasparri Collection holds a significant artifact from the Torcop Group: an exquisite oinochoe, or wine jug, that is steeped in ancient history and craftsmanship. Measuring 28 cm in height and boasting a diameter of 15 cm, this stunning piece is an Etruscan red figure vase, painstakingly painted by the renowned Populonia Painter. The masterful brushstrokes of the painter bring to life three regal female heads, proudly displayed on both the neck and body of the jug. This particular style of decoration is a rare gem, with documented examples found only in the region of South Etruria, yet this very piece was crafted in the heartland of Populonia itself. Each delicate stroke and subtle nuance of color tell a story of a bygone era, one that is both captivating and enigmatic. As we gaze upon this ancient artifact, we are transported to a world of mystery and wonder, where the whispers of the past await our discovery.
