Italian police have recovered a trove of funerary treasures, believed to have belonged to Etruscan princesses, that were illegally excavated from a vast underground tomb in the Umbria region.
The finds, which included eight urns, two sarcophagi – one containing the remains of a woman aged between 40 and 45 – and beauty accessories, originated from a hypogeum that has been traced to an influential Etruscan family who lived between 300BC and 100BC.
