Title: Terracotta dinos (deep round-bottomed bowl) Medium; Technique: Terracotta; black-figure Culture: Etruscan Period: Archaic Date: late 6th century B.C. Artist or Maker: Attributed to the Campana Dinoi, Ribbon Painter Dimensions: H. 8 5/16 in. (21.1 cm) Classification: Vases Credit Line: Gift of Dietrich von Bothmer, 1971 Accession Number: 1971.259a–c Description: Satyrs reveling Campana dinoi frequently depict dancing men or satyrs, subjects appropriate for wine-mixing vessels. They are likely the products of Etruscanized East Greek artists who set up workshops in Southern Etruria in the late sixth century B.C. The style derives its name from the Marchese Giovanni Campana (1808-1880), an Italian banker, amateur archaeologist, and collector, who once owned several examples.

01 Feb 2008 626
Relief of a woman and youth reclining, late 6th–early 5th century B.C. Etruscan Amber; L. 5 1/2 in. (14 cm) Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917 (17.190.2067) This sculpture is one of the most important amber objects of pre-Roman Italy. It is distinguished for the fine quality of its carving, considerable size, and complex subject. There is disagreement among scholars as to the subject portrayed and whether the work was created by an Etruscan artist or by a Greek artist for an Etruscan patron. The scene may be mythological, representing the goddess Aphrodite (known to the Etruscans as Turin) making love with the young Adonis; or, alternatively, it could represent a reclining Etruscan couple with attendants at a funerary banquet.

01 Feb 2011 380
Title: Limestone cippus base Medium; Technique: Limestone Culture: Etruscan, probably Chiusine Period: late Archaic-Classical Date: ca. 500–450 B.C. Dimensions: H.: 14 1/8 in. (35.9 cm) Other: 19 7/8 in. (50.5 cm) Classification: Stone Sculpture Credit Line: Fletcher Fund, 1925 Accession Number: 25.78.28 Description: A cippus is a large stone marker used by the Etruscans to establish a boundary or, more commonly, to mark the location of a tomb. The Etruscans produced several types of cippi. This example, the only one in the Museum's collection, is a cubic block that originally would have supported a large spherical, onion-shaped, or pointed stone. Each side of the block is carved with an identical scene showing symmetrically disposed horsemen. These almost certainly represent the twin gods, Castur and Pultuce (Roman: Castor and Pollux), among the most popular deities worshiped by the Etruscans. This type of cippus is closely associated with Chiusi, an important city in Central Italy. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/collection_database/greek_...
