Created between 500-490 BC, this masterpiece is housed in the Museo Nazionale Archeologico in Tarquinia, Italy. The stamnos depicts an intense pugilat or boxing match, capturing the raw energy and physicality of combat sports during that era. The intricate details on the ceramic vase bring to life the skillful movements and determination of the fighters as they engage in battle. Measuring 38 cm in diameter, this artifact is not only a testament to Etruscan craftsmanship but also provides valuable insights into their culture and society.
