Sarcophagus Lid with Married Couple
Rotate, zoom in, and examine the details from every angle.
During excavations in the 1960s in Tomb B, a fetid stone sarcophagus lid was discovered depicting a married couple lying at a banquet. Although fragmented and lacking the heads, it retains traces of the original painting and details such as the folds of the robes, jewelry, and pillows on which the bodies rest. Dating from the last twenty-five years of the 6th century B.C., the artifact is comparable to Tarquin, Ceretan and Chiusi productions, and is one of the earliest examples of a sarcophagus with a married couple at a banquet in northern Etruria.
