Description The study deals with an assemblage of four bronze vessels from the collection of Chancellor K. Metternich, currently stored in the depository of movable heritage assets of the Kynžvart State Castle. They represent an evidence of early Roman imperial toreutics from the region of Pompeii. We present an artefactual and iconographic analysis of the vessels, their elemental composition, the story of their acquisition, the collecting context of the 19th century, including the environment of Neapolitan heritage preservation.
