Ancient Civilizations between the Adriatic and the Danube" held at the National Archaeological Museum of Adria. In 2007, this precious artefact stolen from Macedonia - which had never left the National Museum of Belgrade - was temporarily granted on loan, together with other archaeological finds, for the exhibition entitled "The Balkans. Among the rare artefacts belonging to this category, that of Trebenište is the only publicly known bronze krater to be on a tripod. The artefact – a masterpiece of VI-century BCE Macedonic toreutics - is indeed one of the extremely rare archaic kraters to have survived to this day (together with the other similar example found in the Tomb I of the same necropolis, also stolen and now part of the collection of the Archaeological Museum of Sofia in today Bulgaria, and the monumental krater discovered at Vix, in France). ABSTRACT The large krater in bronze found in 1930 in Tomb VIII of the necropolis of Trebenište (near Lake Ohrid in Macedonia), was the subject of a complex programme of study and restoration involving several specialists and qualified professionals in order to benefit from every opportunity to gather knowledge available during the krater’s temporary stay in Italy. ![]()
