Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Following the Campanian model, the heartland Etruscans likewise decorated their antefixes with frames. The antefix heads were encircled with a "nimbus", often consisting of open-worked blossom and palmette patterns. The size of the antefixes thus was greatly increased and they had to be strutted in the reverse side.
Deutsch: Nach kampanischem Vorbild verzierten die Etrusker im Kernland ihre Antefixe ebenfalls mit Rahmen. Die Antefix-Köpfe waren mit einem "Nimbus" umgeben, der oft aus durchbrochen gearbeiteten Blüten- und Palmettenmustern bestand. Die Antefixe wurden dadurch stark vergrößert und mussten auf der Rückseite verstrebt werden.
