On the right there is the tomb A, belonging to the founder of the family, a real Etruscan prince.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The structure of the tomb \u2013 a large chest of stone slabs \u2013 is entirely similar to that of the most important tombs in Volterra; a large container of terracotta was placed inside it, intended to contain and protect the bronze cinerary. Inside the cinerary there were some personal belongings: silver bracelets, ivory and amber necklaces, silver and gold fibulas; as well as the remains of a silver plate which must have covered the cremated remains of the deceased wrapped in a linen cloth (both still visible).<\/p>\n

Outside there were the grave goods, which during the funeral were supposed to describe the identity of the deceased. The weapons (bronze axes, iron swords and spears), a helmet and a parade shield \u2013 used to cover the big vase \u2013 tell us of a warrior; the axe, in the Etruscan and Roman worlds, symbolizes political and military power.<\/p>\n

The terminal of an ivory crosier (lituus), a sacrificial knife and other objects also identify the deceased as a \u201cpriest\u201d. A sumptuous bronze equipment for the funeral banquet \u2013 among which a table and a wine glass stand out \u2013 highlight his role as head of the clan who resided near Casalvecchio.<\/p>\n
