Terracotta Cinerary Urn
Etruscan, 3rd century BC

Accession # 96.18.163a, b

The frieze depicts an unidentified battle scene. The composition is repeated on many urns associated with workshops in Chiusi (see 96.9.223a, b and 57.11.10 nearby). According to the inscription, AV: LATINI: VELSIAL, this is the urn of Aulus Latinius, son of Velsia.
