The creature/figure on this ring emerged from the wax as I started carving with the Etruscans in mind. I didn’t have an idea of what I wanted it to look like when I started sanding it into shape.
I took inspiration from the high relief Etruscan sarcophaguses that I saw in the Volterra museum in Italy. The lids of the sarcophaguses feature oddly proportioned figures reclined as if at a banquet and bear resemblance to the entombed dead.
In Etruscan religion, Fufluns (Etruscan: 𐌚𐌖𐌚𐌋𐌖𐌍𐌔) or Puphluns (Etruscan: 𐌐𐌖𐌘𐌋𐌖𐌍𐌔) was a god of plant life, happiness, wine, health, and growth in all things.
