The trousseau belongs to one of the prominent female burials of the necropolis of Torre Mordillo (Spezzano Albanese-CS), although there is also an iron spearhead (an object usually pertaining to male grave goods), in association with the wide repertoire of fibulae in bronze and iron - among which the set consisting of 6 fibulae with four bronze spirals, one with a bone plate, one with a covered arch, three with glasses, two in iron and the other in bronze leaf stands out - , with numerous glass and amber beads, braid clips, rings and various ornamental elements tied to the belt, including a “xylophone” pendant. The presence of the spearhead could confirm the relevance of the trousseau to a bisome burial, that is with the presence of a male and a female subject placed inside the same funerary container (probably a wooden chest subsequently decayed), like other notes in the world. enotrio, which underline the importance of the couple's family bond. The kit also includes a faired cup, a jug and a pyx in mixture.

Ionic capital in sandstone found by chance together with other squared boulders in Villanello on the left of the Busento just upstream of the confluence with the Crati river. It probably originally was part of the decoration of a chamber tomb - the burial of a character of the Brittian elite, perhaps a warrior - of which nothing else has survived. Fractured at the laying surface and missing a large part of a balustrade, the capital shows surfaces that are widely chipped, abraded and worn. The abacus, smooth and rather raised, has section approximately parallelepiped and has on the waiting surface a central hole of a shallow quadrangular shape (3.5x4x1.2), probably functional to the insertion of a connecting pin with an overhead lintel. Below, the pulvinus reveals a decidedly essential carving and decoration, with the channels of the volutes inflected and with a slightly concave bottom, occupied in the center, on both faces and in correspondence with the attack with the echinus, from a palmette to seven lobes (the two inf. lateral curls towards the inside). The volutes, consisting of 1 winding and ¾ ca., terminate centrally with a full eye, while the echinus, strongly flattened, is marked sup. from a raised rod and occupied in the center by the 'swelling' from which the palmettes stand out. The other two sides of the pulvinus have completely smooth and approximately cylindrical balustrades (the one on the left is discreetly preserved). Still below, the underside of the shaft of the column, integral with the capital itself, is apparently devoid of apophyx.

Fragmentary. The lip, neck and upper part are preserved. of the body. Everted lip, cylindrical neck, piriform body, vertical ribbon handle set on the hem and shoulder. On the lip, wolf teeth and pods; on the east profile. of the lip and of the loop, row of points; on the neck, double row of stitches; on the shoulder, pods; on the body, a field with a zoomorphic frieze bordered at the top by a horizontal line: facing sphinxes and, under the handle, a swan; washers as a function of fillers. On the handle, braid motif.

Lacunosa. Rhomboidal arch and sect. with rectangular band; one-winding spring in section circular; straight pin; bracket not preserved. The decoration engraved on the foliate arch has, in the triangular fields near the spring and the bracket, two pairs of straight and converging lines, one on each edge, flanked int. from a row of dots; in the central field, distinguished from the previous ones by two pairs of transverse lines, two pairs of symmetrically convex lines towards the inside, flanked east. from a row of dots, they isolate an hourglass or pelta motif, saving money.

These are two skyphoi and a guttus from the Brittian necropolis of contrada Moio in Cosenza, found in 1932. During the excavation work for the construction of the Civil Hospital, at the foot of a hill that slopes from the north-west towards the Busento a south, seventy tombs were identified - all of the Capuchin type with the exception of a single chest - some of which were close together so as to have suggested a division by family groups. The skyphoi are objects that are repeated in several variations in the same tomb, while the gutti, objects generally identified - due to their characteristic shape with a spout and an opposite 90 ° handle - as containers for the administration of liquids, often attributed to a use strictly connected to children, they come from tombs in which they are associated with skyphoi and ointments, which cannot be said with certainty to belong to children.

Tomb 21 has given back the richest items of the necropolis among those preserved, both in terms of quantity of finds and typological variety. In it, a fragmentary shaft - identified as a fragment of kottabos / candelabrum - is associated with a crater, a kylix, a stamnos, all in black paint and dating from the second half of the fourth century BC, and a loom weight. The peculiarity of this kit is that it contains objects connected to the female sphere - such as the stamnos (or lebès gamikòs) and the loom weight - and others that recall practices such as those of the symposium - to which the crater associated with the kylix and at the kottabos / candelabra auction - reserved for the male world. It can be assumed that these are two distinct tombs, one female and the other male, close to each other and perhaps confused at the time of excavation.

These objects come from a large sepulchral area identified in 1888 but already known, which due to the chronology of the materials recovered, together with the suggestions of a “topographical” order, was considered pertinent to the necropolis of Thurii. These are two skyphoid pyxes and two lids decorated with red figures, where fan-shaped palmettes with leaves rising from an overpainted triangular central core and bounded by volute spirals, often overpainted, alternate with female profiles with hair gathered in a decorated kekryphalos with dots and with over-painted stephanes, not always well preserved. Other overpaintings emphasize the ribbons that tie the kekryphalos and the necklace around the neck of the female figures.

This object was found in tomb 21 of the necropolis in the Moio district associated with a kottabos / candelabrum, a crater, a stamnos, all in black paint and dating from the second half of the fourth century BC, and a loom weight. It is a drinking cup, characterized by a flared rim with a tapered end; deep basin with a concave-convex profile, with double slit at the height of the loops; high molded ring foot; horizontal oblique handle handles folded upwards. On the bottom int. the tub features a flower motif with five petals inscribed in a circle; to the east. of the basin, at the height of the loops, a band with groups of three engraved vertical lines. The east fund. it has three bands of paint alternating with spared bands.

Guttus medallion in which a Gorgon with a very plump face is represented in relief, between two concentric grooves, surmounted by a hair made up of puffy curls. The features of the face are well marked: marked eyebrow arches; upper eyelids and highlighted eyes; enlarged nose; lips from which the tongue protrudes; concavity marked on the chin.

These bronze fibulae belong to a characteristic class of the early Calabrian Iron particularly well attested in the Sibaritide, undoubtedly one of the main production districts. The circular disc arch in the foil has a large transverse median rib, raised and adorned with four longitudinal grooves bordered by bundles of three short transverse grooves in correspondence with the engagement of the spring and the bracket, both in section rod circular; single-winding spring and straight pin, parallel to the arc; small symmetrical and triangular bracket. They have a rib and edge of the disc, incomplete, marginalized with a thin line incised in a dense zig-zag. When found in closed contexts, the types with a large oval shield arc coaxially developed with the pin, with longitudinal ribs, or disc, recur in significant female outfits and are often placed in identical pairs to characterize the set.

Group of about one hundred oil lamps found in the natural cave where a source of sulphurous water flows, called "delle Ninfe", at the foot of Mount Sellaro, north of the Sibari plain. These are oil lamps produced in series with molds ("matrix") of various shapes, with a central disc decorated with subjects from different fields: religious sphere and myth (Athena, Hercules, Pegasus, erotes), triumph (Winged Victory, crowns of leaves and garlands), theater (masks), gladiatorial games and the animal world, often with symbolic meaning. There is no shortage of discs with plant motifs or completely without decoration. Furthermore, some of them bear the trademark of the factory that produced them. The presence in the cave of a source of sulphurous water and the large number of oil lamps suggest that the lamps may be part of a votive deposit, which lasted for at least two centuries.

This kit belongs to a man who was armed with a sword, inserted in a sheath covered in bronze sheet, and a spear; he also wore a protective chest plate (cardiophylax), part of the armor, and had a razor. His dress can also be reconstructed thanks to the reproductions present on the steles of the Daunia (current province of Foggia), which show pectoral plates similar to this one, or to others, found for example in Lavello (PZ). From two leather shoulder straps hung a band on which the plate was nailed, and then hung the sword; a system of laces, attached to a bronze ring on the back, held the armor in place. This tomb, in the necropolis of Torre del Mordillo, suggests the existence of a form of leadership, traced by the presence of a combination of prestigious weapons such as the bronze sword with scabbard and the cardiophylax, certainly an exclusive element of graves of emerging individuals.

Terracotta "dedication" statuettes representing a standing female figure, with disproportionately long arms and hands adhering to the peplos, belonging to two distinct types. The first is documented by a single statuette of slender proportions, which draw a long-limbed and slender figure. and some details of the clothing; The characterization of the hair is variable, smooth or marked by oblique or herringbone incisions. The back of most of the specimens is smooth, but in a statuette the plastic rendering of the hair also continues on the back face. On some of them, on the other hand, a longitudinal band with running spirals motif is arranged on the back. The statuettes probably reproduce the statue of the divinity, female, which was worshiped. The cult that was practiced in Cozzo Michelicchio was almost certainly aimed at impetrating the fertility, of the fields, of the flocks, of the women; it is probable that it was participated both by the Greeks, now settled in Sibari for almost a century, and by the descendants of the Enotri.

Vase (pseudo-pelike) found in 1933 in a Capuchin tomb in the Cannuzze district of Cosenza. Decorated in relief on both sides with subjects referable to the Dionysian cult (drunk and naked Dionysus among vine shoots, on one side; an elderly Silenus - Papposilenus - with tympanum, on the other) and probably imported from Asia Minor. Together with it, a cylindrical bronze container, probably used as a case for surgical tools, and a spoon probe (cyathiscomela) were recovered.

It is part of the section of the Museum dedicated to the Risorgimento and set up on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy. It portrays the Venetian brothers Attilio and Emilio Bandiera protagonists of the Risorgimento, executed by shooting following the sentence of the court martial of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in Cosenza on 25 July 1844 after a failed attempt to raise the Calabrian populations against the reign of Ferdinand II in perspective of an Italian national unification.
