SAMOS

SAMOS
   The sanctuary to Hera on the Greek island in the eastern Aegean where, among other Etruscan objects, a Vetulonia-style handle, two navicella (boat shaped) fibulae, a sizeable fragment of an Etruscan shield (including preserved leather and nail holes), an antennae sword, and bucchero kantharoi were found. These should be placed in the context of an immense array of dedications of equally exotic materials from the East, such as hippo teeth and the skull of a Nile crocodile, and a great range of other bronzes and ivories principally derived from Egypt, Cyprus, and Syria.
   See also TRADE.
