Descripción:

Terra cotta
Etruscan (Italy)

Found in an Etruscan tomb.

We have no literature or history; but we know a lot from what was found in their tombs and their artwork.
Lifelike
Stylized
Archaic smile
Movement
Expressive

Most figures of the time stood alone; here we see a couple embracing.

Different from Greek sculpture in that it is made of clay (terra cotta) where Greeks worked in marble and bronze.
