  • The concrete workshop practices in the production (conception and realisation) of images in the Hellenistic age - understood at the level of the entire Mediterranean - are not yet understood. There are no written sources or images to help better understand these processes and the dealing and handling of craftsmen with the Hellenistic formal repertoire, characterised by a wide range of variants and the transfer of motifs.
    An exemplary investigation of the production of images on North-Etruscan cinerary urns from Volterra, Chiusi and Perugia should lead to some insights into the concrete processes of image production in Hellenism.
