Summary[edit]

Description

Etruscan-Roman cinerary urn made around 100 BC in Volaterrae, the present Volterra in Tuscany (Italy). The funeral procession is composed of musicians, soldiers and magistrates. Two riders hold a palm branch, suggesting

that the scene also represents a triumphant march at which the deceased was entitled during his lifetime. On the right, the procession leads to a sanctuary where a sheep is sacrificed.
