Crafted by the Etruscans, this terracotta piece is adorned with an exquisite black glaze, adding to its allure and elegance. Standing at just 5.1 cm tall, it is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship of ancient civilizations. The Thelastron's design reflects its practical purpose in everyday life during that era. Its unique shape features a handle and spout, allowing for easy pouring and feeding of infants or small children. This functional aspect highlights the importance placed on nurturing and caring for young ones within Etruscan society. Housed in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA, this artifact holds great historical significance.
