Verified profile

The statue depicts a male figure of high rank, dressed in a long robe that leaves his arms and feet exposed, wearing sandals. He is seated on a throne with a curved backrest and extends his closed hands, as if to hold an object now missing, perhaps a scepter. The sculpture was originally covered with intense polychromy, partly faded, which mainly featured the colors red, black, and yellowish. It is a cinerary statue, used to contain the ashes of the deceased inside, according to the local Etruscan tradition, and falls into the category of large funerary statues, part of rich tomb complexes.
