EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an Etruscan cinerary urn on a podium, displayed in the Chamber tomb of the Pruni family, located near the ancient Etruscan city of Chiusi in Etruria, Italy. Dating back to the 2nd century BC, this tomb is now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. The urn, made of marble, is adorned with intricate reliefs depicting various scenes from Etruscan life. The most striking relief shows a reclined figure, believed to represent a member of the Pruni family, surrounded by a garland and flanked by a horse and a ring. The figure's peaceful expression and the horse's alert posture convey a sense of tranquility and respect for the deceased. The podium, with its cushion, adds an air of elegance and importance to the tomb. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and artistic achievements of the Etruscan civilization, a significant precursor to the Roman civilization in Europe.
