Painted terracotta cinerary urn with a man on the lid, Etruscan, Tuscany, Italy, 150-100 BCE. L: 62.3cm, W: 27.3cm, H: 38.7cm. Inv. GR 1926,0324.124. - The young man depicted on the lid of this urn wears a white chiton with a purple stripe, a mantle with a purple border and a gold finger-ring. He reclines as if at a banquet, and holds a type of drinking bowl known as a phiale. The theme of the relief decoration (five figures fighting) on the side of the urn is probably inspired by Greek epic or drama. The way in which the figures are interwoven in a closely packed grouping shows influence from the style of Hellenistic Pergamon.
