Room 19 - Necropolis of Poggiarone

Here is displayed a precious selection of items from Tomb A of the Poggione necropolis (Castelnuovo Berardenga), likely connected to the aristocratic residence of Poggio Tondo and the settlement of Cetamura. The burial, dating from the late 7th to the 6th century BC, provides insights into the life and status of the time. Alongside the remains of a man and a woman, rich grave goods were found: weapons, bucchero and bronze vessels for the man; spinning tools and containers for perfumes and other precious substances for the woman. Among the finds are bucchero containers with Etruscan inscriptions and refined ivory objects, such as a richly decorated comb. The wooden and iron chariot, featured in Room 21, completes this fascinating discovery.
