The holmos was one of the utensils required for a banquet. The stand, which is hollow inside, once supported a dinos, or large cauldron. The structure consists of three elements joined together. It is decorated with openwork rosettes with knobs at their centers, cutout lines between. It sits on a flaring base and is topped by an upper conical portion. 21 3/4" high. Circa 7th Century B.C.
