🤓La cerámica etrusca más conocida es el 'bucchero nero', pero también imitaban formas de lo que les llegaba de manera directa e indirecta por mar y tierra de sitios como Corinto (Grecia). Esta procede de la Necropoli delle Ficaie y está en el MAF_Firenze 😋

#aCavallodelTempo Vera e propria sintesi del rapporto fra uomo e cavallo è la kylix attica a figure rosse del MAF_Firenze dove la dea Atena seduta su trono è intenta ad accarezzare il cavallo di Troia, ornato di tainiai niketeriai, le bende in lana rossa simbolo di vittoria!

From between the petals emerge little palmettes and stylized lilies, bearing no natural relationship to the lotus flower. It may be a kind of offering object. Another example can be seen at the MAF_Firenze .
