Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. An intricate cast bronze wine strainer, composed of a deep cavity with punched holes in the center of a shallow, wide bowl. A wide, slightly-incurved rim surrounds the full bowl. Projecting from the rim is a long rectangular handle that flares out at its upper portion into a swan-headed terminal. Incised swirling motifs are on the upper side of the handle. The Romans drank wine nearly every day, and it was available to people at every level of society - slaves, soldiers, farmers, and elites. Strainers were necessary to remove dregs from their wine. A bronze one like this would have been a fine item owned by a wealthy family. Size: 4.95" W x 10.75" H (12.6 cm x 27.3 cm)
