The Etruscan is a novel by Mika Waltari , published in 1956, telling of the adventures of a young man, Turms , which begins approximately in 480 BC. It tells of the spiritual development of Turms, as he adventures from Greece to Sicily, then to Rome and then finally to Tuscany, where he learns of his immortality and his duties to the future.

The three Etruscan terracotta warriors are art forgery art forgeries , statues made to resemble work of ancient Etruscans . The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art bought them between 1915 and 1921. The statues were created by Italian brothers Pio and Alfonso Riccardi and three of their six sons. Early fakes The Riccardis began their career as art forgers when Roman art dealer Domenico Fuschini hired them to forge shards of ancient ceramics and eventually whole jars. Their first sizeable work was a large bronze chariot . In 1908 Fuschini informed the British Museum that the chariot had been found in the old Etruscan fort near Orvieto and that the Riccardis had been commissioned to clean it. The British Museum bought the chariot and published the find in 1912. Soon after the purchase Pio Riccardi died. Warriors The Riccardis enlisted the aid of sculptor Alfredo Fioravanti and created a statue, later known as the Old Warrior . It was 202 cm tall and was naked from the waist down. It was also missing its left thumb and right arm. In 1915 they sold it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art that also bought their next work, the Colossal Head in 1916. Experts decided it must have been part of a 7 metre statue. The next work was designed by Pio s eldest son Ricardo, who died in a riding accident before it was completed. When finished, the statue stood a little over two meters tall. In 1918 the Metropolitan Museum of Art bought it for 40,000 and published the find as the Big Warrior in 1921. The forgers subsequently dispersed. Discovery of forgery The three warrior statues were first exhibited together in 1933. In the following years various art historians, especially in Italy, presented their suspicions that on stylistic and artistic grounds alone, the statues might be forgeries, but there was no forensic ... books?id 41g63RVB4fIC&pg PA197&lpg PA197&dq ricardi Etruscan terracotta warriors&source bl&ots ...
