Cinerary Urn Fragment with Battle Scene
The figures on this fragment of a cinerary urn seem to represent the sons of Oedipus, Eteocles and Polyneices, fighting each other for power of the city of Thebes, while flanked by two winged Vanths. This myth was relatively popular on Etruscan cinerary urns.
