Sarcophagus of the Spouses. Etruscan, late 6th century BCE. Made of terracotta which was one brightly painted, depicting a married couple at a banquet together on the afterlife. Their smiling and friendly posture is typical for Etruscan art, very different from Greek styles. The Etruscans cremated their dead, so instead of bodies this sarcophagus would have contained the couple’s ashes.
