But you can tell that this is Etruscan, because NO Greek or Roman statuary would include that potbelly, or have an nonidealized face. :-)
That face was to keep the evil spirits away - I know it would work on me.
Apparently the Etruscans also invented the cheesecake...
What’s that in the right hand. It looks like a turbofan from a jet engine.
Etruscan culture, what little we know of it, fascinates me. This unmolested tomb is indeed a real find. I love the guy’s potbelly, and the Etruscan’ s non-idealized portrayals of humans. We’re the Etruscans a people truly indigenous to this part of Italy or not. Inquiring minds want to know.
