Description
English: Cinerary urn for a boy The inhabitants of Etruria used to bury their dead, following the Greek example. In the Hellenistic period they prefer the Roman custom of cremation.

Chiusi, Etruria (Italy), Hellenistic period c. 150-100 BC. Inv. 1510.
Nederlands: Askist voor een jongen De bewoners van Etrurië plachten hun doden te begraven, volgens het Griekse voorbeeld. Gedurende de Hellenistische periode gaven ze de voorkeur aan de Romeinse gewoonte te cremeren. Deze askist was voor de as van Arnth Carpnate, die op de deksel wordt weergegeven. Hij stierf jong, want draagt de ronde amulet die jongens tot hun puberteit droegen. Terracotta, Chiusi, Etrurië (Italië), Hellenistische periode ca. 150-100 BC. Inv. 1510.
