A demon with red hair and a red robe, lifted by the wind, leading a chariot drawn by two lions and two griffins, enveloped in a large black cloud, after passing through the gate of the Underworld. Behind him, two deceased individuals lying on a triclinium bed, affectionately bidding each other farewell (a father and son, two lovers?), reunited in the Afterlife to remain forever together in the eternal banquet; a large three-headed serpent with a red crest and black beard, its body coiling into a single green spiral, represents the monsters that inhabit the Underworld. It is from these monsters that the psychopomp, the demon Charun (Charon), protects the souls on their journey to the Afterlife. Finally, the great hippocampus, half horse and half fish, on the back wall, symbolizes the marine world—just like the small dolphins swimming beneath the entire scene of the quadriga and the banquet guests—as a passage from land to sea, analogous to a dive, a metaphor for death. In the Etruscan world, everything is symbolic, everything revolves around thoughts of the Underworld, everything is an anticipation of the serenity of eternal life.
