- Alabaster cinerary urn with a figure of a
reclining man on the lid and a carved panel on the chest,
Etruscan, 200-100 BC, from Chiusi.
He wears a mantle, banqueters' wreaths and finger-rings, and holds an
embossed libation bowl in his right hand. The scene on the chest has
been thought to represent the death of Eteokies and Polyneikes, but the
uprooted tree remains unexplained. It may show an Etruscan legend. The
inscription reads Vel Umrana, son of Arnth.
