Situlae, such as this one, were used for ceremonial purposes throughout the Ancient Near East and can be seen in numerous pictorial representations. The largest group of these vessels come from Urartu. Rivka Merhav, op.cit., suggests that this situla can be dated to the reign of Ispuini (830-810 B.C.) because of the similarity of the griffin-bird handle terminals to other inscribed examples from this period.
