Etruscan Terracotta Cinerary Urn in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007

Etruscan Terracotta Cinerary Urn in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007
Terracotta cinerary urn
Etruscan, 2nd century BC

Accession # 96.9.220 a,b

The frieze depicts a hero fighting with a plow, a subject found quite frequently on Etruscan cinerary urns (see 96.9.219 a,b nearby) but whose specific meaning remains uncertain. The inscription reads: ARNTILE: AFUNAS: LAUTNI (Arntile, freedman of the Afuna family.)

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
