介绍（中）	这一大批青铜配件，其中许多铁钉或青铜钉仍保存着，曾经属于轮式木车或战车。因为所有较大的元素都有一个平坦的背部，我们可以假设它们来自一辆基本上是直线的车辆，而不是像画廊中展示的蒙特里昂战车那样弯曲的。在许多情况下，同一座伊特鲁里亚陵墓中既有一辆战车，也有一辆轻型手推车，可能用作将死者送往墓地的灵车。此处所示车辆的精确功能是不确定的最有趣的作品之一是大盘子（29.131.3a），浅浮雕显示了一位坐着的年轻人在弹奏七弦琴。这件作品（29.131.3b）的吊坠缺少上部，可能曾经描绘过一个相关的人物。有十块S形加固板，其中八块装饰有须蛇（29.131.3k1-k8）。这些独特的支架可能背靠背安装在车辆的木板上；事实上，一些木头碎片仍然粘在上面。同样的胡须蛇出现在一个更大的对称元素上（29.131.3.q）。由于在伊特鲁里亚艺术中，这种蛇经常被死亡恶魔挥舞，这一特定的图像细节可能证实了这是一辆陪葬车的解释。其他元素，例如带有蛇发女怪头像的盘子和装饰有萨提尔或公羊头像的插座，可能会加强这种葬礼功能。许多其他物品都是完全未经装饰的，有些，例如青铜戒指，可能属于挽具。
介绍（英）	This large collection of bronze fittings, many with their iron or bronze nails still preserved, once belonged to a wheeled wooden cart or chariot. Because all the larger elements have a flat back, we can assume that they came from a vehicle that was basically rectilinear rather than curved like the Monteleone Chariot displayed in this gallery. In a number of instances, the same Etruscan tomb contained both a chariot and a light cart that perhaps served as a hearse to carry the deceased to the cemetery. The precise function of the vehicle represented here is uncertain. Among the most interesting pieces is the large plate (29.131.3a) showing, in shallow relief, a seated youth playing the lyre. The pendant to this piece (29.131.3b) lacks the upper portion, where perhaps a related figure was once depicted. There are ten S-shaped reinforcement plates, eight of which are decorated with bearded snakes (29.131.3k1-k8). Pairs of these distinctive braces were probably mounted back-to-back against the wooden panels of the vehicle; indeed, some wooden fragments still adhere to them. The same bearded snakes appear on a larger, symmetrical element (29.131.3.q). Since such snakes are often brandished by death demons in Etruscan art, this specific iconographical detail may corroborate the interpretation that this is a funerary vehicle. Other elements, for example the plates with Gorgon heads and the sockets decorated with satyr or ram heads, may reinforce this funerary function. Many other pieces are completely undecorated, and some, for example the bronze rings, may belong to the harness.
