Detailed explanation-1: -The iconographic motifs (the griffins and lions) of the parade fibula speaks to the influence of the ancient Near East and possibly even to manufacture by artisans from Syro-Palestine.
Detailed explanation-2: -From about 630 BC, Etruscan architecture was heavily influenced by Greek architecture, which was itself developing through the same period.
Detailed explanation-3: -Archaeologists discovered that banqueting was a common theme in the objects and wall paintings in these tombs. This installation includes eating and drinking vessels made of bucchero, a black glossy ceramic originating in Etruria that was fired in kilns and was left unpainted and unglazed.
Detailed explanation-4: -Etruscan tombs, in both their construction and contents, prove that the Etruscans conceived of the afterlife as an extension of actual life. The tomb often replicates a domestic interior, filled with all the objects the deceased would need, like personal adornments, games, banqueting wares, and even food.
