In this article, prothesis imagery on relief monuments from Archaic Chiusi is examined. The lying in state of the corpse, a scene initially adopted from Attic models in the Archaic period, appears frequently among the Chiusine corpus. Unlike Attic prothesis imagery, the prothesis scene at Chiusi shows significant variation in gender roles, gestures, and notions of pollution. Additionally, the frequent inclusion of children within the reliefs may reflect a high degree of social visibility and participation among all age groups in the mourning ritual in Etruria
