One of the most lavish tombs of the aristocratic necropolis of Montefortino d’Arcevia (tomb VIII) belonged to a high-ranking lady, adorned with a collection of gold jewellery probably from Greek workshops in Southern Italy. They include a necklace (the torque of the Celts, which existed in Italy in the Hellenistic period), two crowns, two bracelets and a ring. There is also an Etruscan mirror. The most significant items included in the burial are, however, the elaborate, Etruscan-type banqueting service. This is made up of two bronze cauldrons and two pairs of andirons for boiling or grilling meat. A large set of bronze vases were part of the wine-serving utensils used in the symposium – a stamnos, several situla, large and small jugs, and a colander. The lady’s personal service included a drinking cup and a black-painted Etruscan ceramic dish, along with a set of bowls of various sizes. The design of certain pieces, such as the bronze pan, predate the drinking sets used by the Romans. The candelabrum adorned with a small statue in bronze is an example of late-Etruscan production in this genre. Unlike the panoplies in the male burials within the same necropolis, this tomb is completely lacking any element which is recognisably Celtic.
