Italian police have recovered a remarkable collection of funerary treasures believed to belong to Etruscan princesses, illicitly excavated from a tomb linked to an influential family.
The investigation was sparked when detectives found online photos of the treasures, valued at approximately 8 million euros, posted by two businessmen seeking buyers.
Among the recovered artifacts were eight urns, two sarcophagi, and beauty accessories, including bronze mirrors and a unique perfume jar that still retained traces of scent.
Experts hailed this recovery as one of the most significant discoveries of Etruscan artifacts through a police investigation, shedding light on an influential ancient civilization.
