Description:

|
The deities of most Etruscan temples are unknown, but two temples at Pyrgi, a port of Cerveteri, were dedicated to the Etruscan goddess Uni, the equivalent of the Greek Hera and the Roman Juno. The Falisci (Faliscans) were allies of the Etruscans. This head is from Falerii (now Civita Castellana), the main city of the Faliscans. Remains of a temple were found at Lo Scasato, at the highest point of the ancient town, in 1888. The attribution of one of these to Juno Quiritis is uncertain. This painted terracotta figure is from the pediment of the Faliscan temple at Lo Scasato. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
