Etruscan Art

The Etruscans certainly had a more relaxed attitude to sex than we do. This two-handled Etruscan Bowl (770-760 BC) features a man masturbating. I'm not sure I'd want to finish my meat and two veg. and find that lurking at the bottom of my bowl, but each to his own. This is one of the exhibits in The Etruscans and the Mediterranean: The City of Cerveteri, which is currently showing at the Louvre Lens in the metropolitan district of Lille in France. The exhibition runs until 10 March (CLICK).

Hi

Thanks for your interesting comment. I tend to show a graphic that's caught my eye and post a link to the exhibition, leaving it to the reader to explore more. I haven't the time for deep research or cross-referencing. Shame you found my post so late. It was posted nearly two years ago.
