In the context of this artwork, analyze the Etruscan women of the Family.
Limited evidence has been found about what the Etruscans did as a whole but from what has been found from sites dating back to the Orientalizing period, women of higher Etruscan society did have the same status as the men. Seen in burials they have been more lavish, as well with pottery that would have inscriptions of both their individual name (praenomen) and their family name (nomen), although only free women would have a personal name. It has been shown that women of the higher society were literate and that females related to a male by blood ties were respected since they were the ones carrying children through her bloodline.
