This cinerary olla, discovered in Tomb F of the Molinello Tumulus in Asciano and dating between the 3rd and 1st century BCE, is made of common ceramic with a red glaze applied inside, remnants of which also remain on the outer surface. An Etruscan inscription, “θ. turplnei. vetial.”, appears on the olla’s body, indicating the use of personal inscriptions on funerary containers. This artifact is now preserved at the Museo Palazzo Corboli in Asciano, offering a glimpse into Etruscan culture and funerary practices.
