This well-presented and richly illustrated study of Etruscan history and culture is based around a catalogue of Etruscan artworks and artefacts from an exhibition held in Hamburg in 2004. The exhibits, which include wall paintings, tombs, ceramics, metalwork, armour and weapons, mirrors and everyday items, are all presented in colour photographs with a full description. Background essays place the objects in their setting, discussing Etruscan culture, grave goods, wall paintings and tombs and Etruscan archaeology.
