ETRUSCAN ROOM. 
In this Room is a collection of vases discovered in Italy, and 
known by the name of Etruscan, Graeco- Italian, or painted Vases. 
They are of various epochs and styles. 
The present collection is arranged chronologically and according 
to the localities in which they were found. In the Cases 1—5 
are vases of heavy black ware, some with figures upon them in bas- 
relief, the w T ork of the ancient Etruscans, and principally found 
at Vulci Chiusi, or Cervetri or Caere. To these succeed, in Case 
6—7, the Vases, called Nolan-JEgyptian or Phoenician, with pale 
backgrounds and figures in a deep reddish maroon colour, chiefly 
of animals. To these succeed Cases 8 to 19, the early vases 
with black figures upon red or orange backgrounds, the subjects 
of which are generally mythological. These vases are princi¬ 
pally from Vulci, Canino, and the north of Rome. The vases 
in Cases 20—30, executed with more care and finish, are principally 
from Canino and Nola. Those in the room, commencing Case 
3-1 and ending Case 55, are of the later style of these objects, and 
chiefly from the province of the Basilicata, which lies to the south of 
Rome; their subjects are principally relative to Bacchus. Among 
them will be found, Case 35, some rhytons or drinking cups fashioned 
in the shape of the heads of animals. In the Cases 36—51, are vases 
from Apulia, resembling in their colour and treatment those of Nola. 
Cases 56—60 filled with terracottas, principally of Etruscan workman¬ 
ship, and in the centre are various divinities and mythological groups. 
Vases with representations on both sides are exhibited in glass cases 
in the centre of the Room. 
Over Cases 36—55 are painted fac-similes, by S. Cartipanari, of the 
walls of an Etruscan tomb at Tarquinii, in two divisions; in the lower
