Terracotta globular cup. Culture: Etruscan. Dimensions: H.: 3 3/4 in. (9.5 cm). Date: ca. 520-510 B.C..Male and female figures flanked by heraldic lionsThe subject of this vase is unusual: a male figure wearing winged boots and holding a bow and an axe pursues a woman carrying a bow. Do the figures represent divine characters, perhaps Apulu (Apollo) and his twin sister Artumes (Artemis) The bow is a typical attribute of both these deities, and winged boots often signify a divine or supernatural being in Etruscan art.
