SUMMARY:The Ever Elusive Etruscan Egg
DESCRIPTION:Lisa C. Pieraccini\, professeur d'art antique\, Berkeley\, Cali
 fornie.Representations of the egg in various media are certainly not lacki
 ng in Etruscan art. On bronze mirrors we frequently find large eggs referr
 ing to the birth of Helen. Rich orientalizing tombs of the seventh century
  BC often contained imported ostrich eggs\, highly prized luxury items ind
 eed. The well-known Tragliatella vase\, according to some scholars\, curio
 usly displays a couple holding eggs. At Tarquinia\, the painted tombs freq
 uently depict an egg being passed from one banqueter or reveler to another
 \, or held out for display. Even one Caeretan brazier found in the archaic
  Tomba Maroi III at Caere contained eggs\, which we can imagine were place
 d on the burning coals in the brazier during the funeral banquet. Scholars
  have suggested that the Etruscan egg was full of symbolic meaning. But wh
 at does this all mean? What exactly did the egg symbolize and how did it f
 unction in the rich realm of Etruscan funerary ritual?  Conférence prése
 ntée par le Centre d’études classiques de l’Université de Montréal
  et l'Archaeological Institute of America - Montréal\, dans le cadre de l
 a Semaine Étrusque.La conférence sera donnée en anglais.
