Civic Archaeological Museum of Bologna, room III: the arrangement of the grave goods of tomb 85 from the Lippi necropolis of Verucchio, one of the most important Etruscan centers in the region.Among the grave goods (deposited together with the ashes of a rich aristocrat) stands out the imposing wooden throne, decorated with carvings, dating back to the 7th century BC, with a footrest. It is the most evident sign that the deceased had a very high rank.In addition to the throne, also noteworthy, also belonging to the same grave goods, are the three small tables that housed the ceramic pottery containing the food offerings for the deceased. Among the foods it is still possible to recognize grapes, hazelnuts, meat and fish. Next to the throne there is a large bronze and wicker helmet, while a bronze fibula covered in precious amber belonged to the deceased's personal ornament.
