Etruscan Terracotta Revetment Plaque in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009

Terracotta Revetment Plaque
Caere (Cerveteri)
4th century BC

# MS1806

This large plaque was made to cover and hang below a horizontal beam. It probably comes from the same temple with the satyr and maenad antefixes mounted above. Its painted surface shows a repeated floral pattern. Several holes, for use in attaching the plaque to the beam, are preserved.
