摘要：A new study of three small bronze figures of Etruscan and Italic manufacture gives the opportunity to reconsider the dossier of bronze vessels imported in the Western Mediterranean Area. Firstly, a thorough description of each figure allows to determinate their provenance and to make new hypothesis about their correct placement. Secondly, a review of Etruscan and Italic vessels found on the Peninsula, including some new findings, is presented. This review shows clearly specific tendencies concerning the import of archaic vessels. Finally, the presence of these objects is related to the examined figures, thus giving the chance to explain their outstanding nature in comparison to standard imports. Therefore, a provenance from archaeological contexts, at least for two of them, is hardly acceptable.
