Glass paste vessel. Oinochoe. Iberian cemetery of La Noria (Fuente de Piedra, Málaga, Spain)
View through Europeana Collections
Oinochoe of vitreous paste of the tomb 272, located in the burial mound C, of the iberian cemetery of La Noria (Fuente de Piedra, Málaga, Spain). The cemetery has a surface of 4 ha. During the years 2009 and 2010 the Andalusian Center of Iberian Archaeology (University of Jaén) carried out excavation campaigns in which most of the funerary structures were documented along with their corresponding tunes.The cemetery responds to a model of tumular funerary landscape, in which eight burial mounds have been excavated, all of them built with white clay that make up the drum; around all of them a f was practiced.
The burial mound C is the largest documented in the cemetery with measurements of 30 x 32 m. The moat that delimits it has a width that ranges between 1.46 x 10.63 meters in its wider area. Chronologically it falls within phase I of the Iberian cemetery, (late sixth century mid V B.C.). From the reading of the whole it can be deduced that the burial mound C, due to its larger size both in medium diameter and in the middle width of the moat, is the point from which the space of the cemetery is articulated.
The vessel belongs to the grave’s trousseau and is decorated with yellow and light blue vitreous paste lines, very degraded the latter. The yellow and blue color are obtained by adding to the yellow vitreous paste of Naples (Pb2Sb2O7) and Egyptian blue (CuCaSi4O10). In the case of the Egyptian blue has also been identified calcium antimoniate (Ca2Sb2O7) as an agent that contributes opacity to the vitreous paste. Chronology: End of VI B.C.-beginning of V B.C.
