Civic Archaeological Museum of Bologna, Bologna Etruscan section: the hoard of San Francesco.Dating back to the 7th century BC, it is the most important Iron Age deposit in Italy. It was found near the current Basilica of San Francesco and consisted of a massive terracotta vase (dolio) containing 14,841 metal objects, both whole and fragmentary, precious evidence of the life and activities of the Etruscan community of Felsina, the ancient name of the city of Bologna.Initially, it was considered as a reserve of metal intended for a foundry, hidden at the beginning of the 7th century BC. However, recent studies have considered the hoard as a possible public treasure, perhaps ritually deposited on a special occasion.

Civic Archaeological Museum of Bologna: Amulets: Pillars or DjedIn the religion of the ancient Egyptians, the Zed (or Djed), translated as "stability", "presence", is the representation of the backbone of the god Osiris, king of the Underworld. For the Egyptians, the backbone was the seat of the vital fluid, and symbolized stability (ḍdi, the word from which "Djed" originates, means "to be stable") and eternal life. The hieroglyph that represents it resembles a pillar.Symbol of the Djed.It was an important sacred symbol for the people of the Nile (so much so that in wall paintings it is colored with precious turquoise), and was already present before being associated with Osiris: in the Neolithic it was represented as a sort of fetish or amulet. Another school of thought considers it a representation of the victory of good over evil, as happens after the myth of the death of Osiris, killed by his brother Seth but avenged by Horus, or

Civic Archaeological Museum of Bologna: Corinthian configured ointment jar.The favourites objects of the Corinthian production are the small containers, aryballoi and alabastra and from the beginning of the 6th century BC a type of miniaturized amphora, the amphoriskos, all intended to contain perfumes and ointments. Among the shapes intended for cosmetics, a very peculiar typology is that of the plastic ointment jars, mostly in the shape of an animal and intended above all for export. The small ointment jar in the shape of a crouching man, with a beard and long hair falling on his shoulders and back, was also intended for this same purpose. He wears a garment decorated with dense dots that probably reproduces a beast's skin and has a pair of holes at the side of the neck intended for hanging the container.Inv. G 599:

Thanks to the comparison with similar examples found in funerary contexts at el-Lisht, Dahshur and western Thebes, the necklace can be dated with certainty to the 12th Dynasty (1938-1759 BC). Considered by the vast majority of scholars to be a necklace, this rare jewel could not be excluded as it could have been used as a belt to be worn on the hips, not only to enhance the harmonious nudity of a young female body, but also to propitiate a sure fertility, evoked by the cowrie shells that are a traditional symbol.Detail.
