Terracotta globular cup, Archaic, ca. 520–510 B.C., Etruscan, Terracotta; black-figure, Pontic ware, H.: 3 3/4 in. (9.5 cm), Vases, Male and female figures flanked by heraldic lions. The subject of this vase is unusual: a male figure wearing winged boots and holding a bow and an axe pursues a woman carrying a bow. Do the figures represent divine characters, perhaps Apulu (Apollo) and his twin sister Artumes (Artemis)? The bow is a typical attribute of both these deities, and winged boots often signify a divine or supernatural being in Etruscan art
