Légende

Etruscan Sarcophagus, presented to the British Museum by the Marquis of Northampton, 1850. '...a novel addition to the classic antiquities in the Museum. It is a small Etruscan Sarcophagus, in terra cotta, recently presented by the Marquis of Northampton, and placed on the south side of the Great Central Saloon, under the colossal head of Rameses. The Sarcophagus is richly decorated in colours, and is a very interesting contribution to the stores of Etruscan art already possessed by the Museum.' From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
