Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities

This bust of a woman was long overlooked. It was found in Falerii, about 50
kilometers from Rome, and has recently recognized as being a masterpiece of
Etruscan terra-cotta sculpture. Produced in the early third century BC,
it falls within the Greek sculptural tradition of the classical period.
The young woman, who may be Ariadne, is veiled and crowned with
vine branches and leaves and probably belonged to a cult group depicting
the wedding of Dionysos.
