Human: Ash urn of a reclining Etruscan woman, Budapest Museum\r\nEtruscan culture was a dynamic blend. It merged diverse ethnicities and non-Indo-European languages from Asia Minor with ancient Italian roots. People wore distinctive boots with turned-up toes, echoing Hittite and Hurrian styles. Their art was shaped by influences from Crete, Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Greece. Etruscan paintings adhered to the Kemetic convention of depicting red-brown men and fair-skinned women, acquired through Cretan and Greek traditions. Etruscan tombs incorporated neo-megalithic elements tied to Corsica and Sardinia. Temples boasted smooth, painted columns modeled after Cretan and Mycenaean precedents, while other features aligned with contemporary Greece, and the distinctive terracotta rooftop figures were exclusive to Etruria.\r\nhttps://www.mfab.hu/artworks/etruscan-ash-urn-with-reclining-female-figure-on-the-lid/
