Sometimes a sculpture can teach us about the way people from a particular culture lived. For example, the two figures on the sarcophagus from Cerveteri helped researchers to understand that men and women held relatively equal status in ancient Etruscan society.

Sculptures portray and reflect the aspects of life of a particular society and culture.

Explanation:

Throughout the world, we can find many ancient and historical sculptures which were sculpted during different times and periods. They may be figures of animals, people, gods, deities, etc and they reflect a number of symbolic meaning and importance.Many of the sculptures such as Praying Sumerian Man, Mantiklos “Apollo”, etc hold religious significance and association of religious beliefs.Therefore, scholars claim that the two figures on the sarcophagus from Cerveteri displays how women were treated equally important in Etruscan culture as the sculpture displays the women laying right beside the man.
