Etruscan Terracotta Antefix in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009

Etruscan Terracotta Antefix in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009
Terracotta antefixes
Corneto (Tarquinia)
Late 6th- early 5th century BC

# MS 1821, MS 1828

These two antefixes are from a deposit at Corneto, the countryside of ancient Tarquinii. One, with finely painted surface, shows the popular satyr head. The other shows the bearded, bullish river god Acheloos.
