Situla Art is an Iron Age artisanal tradition dated to c. 660/650–275 BC, corresponding to the Hallstatt C2 to the La Tène B2 phases. It is characterised by striking sheet-bronze objects with embossed and/or incised decoration in Orientalising taste with animals, plants and/or human figures generally distributed in friezes. Situla Art is documented between the Apennines and the eastern Alps, and Este is suggested as its key centre. This paper provides a long overdue literature review, a working definition for Situla Art and an updated catalogue with 306 objects. It also (re-)investigates the influences which may have led to the emergence of Situla Art, its development and decline. Hats and earrings depicted in Situla Art are investigated to highlight their identity valencies, and to provide socio-political insights on the Iron Age elite who used Situla Art as a non-linguistic symbol-based system to acquire, exhibit and legitimate power over time in the area of its distribution.

Situla Art 是一种铁器时代的手工艺传统，可追溯至公元 30 世纪。公元前 660/650–275 年，对应于哈尔施塔特 C2 到 La Tène B2 阶段。它的特点是带有浮雕和/或雕刻装饰的引人注目的青铜板物体具有东方化的味道，动物、植物和/或人物形象通常分布在饰带中。在亚平宁山脉和东阿尔卑斯山之间记录了斯图拉艺术，埃斯特被认为是其主要中心。这篇论文提供了一篇逾期已久的文献综述、Situla Art 的工作定义和包含 306 件物品的更新目录。它还（重新）调查了可能导致 Situla 艺术出现、发展和衰落的影响。对 Situla Art 中描绘的帽子和耳环进行了调查，以突出其身份效价，
