Description
This garden ornament, located approximately 30 metres west of Newby Hall, dates back to the Roman period, likely from the 1st century AD. Made of white marble, it resembles the bronze tripod incense burners with claw feet and a circular bowl that are depicted in Roman murals from Pompeii and Herculaneum. Between the legs of the ornament and the bowl, there are small figures and paired masks, while the bowl itself is decorated with sea monsters in relief. At the top, there is a fluted urn. This piece is thought to have been one of the items purchased by William Weddell during his visit to Italy in 1765.
