2nd century BCE.
Inv. No. 13847.
Rome, Vatican Museums, Gregorian Etruscan Museum
(Roma, Musei Vaticani, Museo gregoriano etrusco).
Origin:
From Cerveteri.
Description:
A terracotta head from the Etruscan town of Cerveteri (Caere). The relatively late date (second century B.C.) suggests that this head belongs in the category of Roman Republican period “veristic” portraiture. The head may have been set up as a votive offering in a sanctuary, according to the Vatican Museums.
