Etruscan statue of a woman

This statue appears to have originated from the early Etruscan period, displaying distinct influences from minor Asia, where the Etruscan people migrated in the early 8th century, before adopting Greek elements. The Etruscans were a culturally thriving civilization that inhabited modern-day Italy prior to the rise of the Romans. Their artistry serves as a bridge between Greek and Roman styles, having been heavily influenced by the former and subsequently influencing the latter.
