Boar group

The boar group is a probably in the 2nd half of the 6th century BC. A group of Bucchero goblets with relief decorations made by one or more Etruscan potters. They were found in Orvieto and are now in different collections. The group was named after the motif of boars walking one behind the other, which can be found on several of the chalices. A jug kept in Vienna can also be assigned to this group.
