Tomba della Caccia al Cervo

The deer hunt

Banquet scene

The Etruscan Tomba della Caccia al Cervo (“Tomb of the Deer Hunt”) was found in 1960 in the Monterozzi necropolis in Tarquinia . It is a painted underground burial chamber that can be entered via a staircase. The paintings are no longer well preserved today. The grave dates to around 450 BC. Chr. And is named after a scene in the gable of the back wall, which shows a deer hunt on the red background of the painted support pillars of the ceiling. On the back wall below is a banquet scene with three Klinen . Musicians and dancers can be seen on the side walls between small trees. The paintings have a lot in common with those in the Tomba Maggi and may therefore come from the same workshop.
