Terracotta plate, Sub-geometric, ca–670 B.C., Etruscan, Subgeometric, probably Caeretan, Terracotta, H. 1 1/2 in. (3.8 cm); diameter 9 1/2 in. (24.1 cm), Vases, Exterior: six herons, Interior: wide concentric circles. This plate belongs to a large group called the Heron Class because of its most common subject. The precise function of these plates is unknown, but they appear frequently in tombs at Cerveteri (ancient Caere) and ultimately may derive, in both shape and decoration, from eighth century B
