Thymiaterion, missing the upper part of the hearth and approximately half of the base. Thymiaterion with a cylindrical, smooth shaft, slightly tapering towards the top, provided with a high half the height of the shaft profiled base. The base consists of two elements — a vertical lower part and a slightly concave upper part, on which stands the thymiaterion's head, slightly spaced from the edge. Late Hellenistic period, Etruria, varia; height 13.3 cm, width 11 cm., A roughly cylindrical stone object with an irregular, pitted surface sits against a plain light gray background; the stone shows a range of beige, tan, and light brown tones with some darker brown speckles and small cavities, a wider rounded base tapering slightly toward a blunt, uneven top, and visible rough texture and porous holes across its surface.
