Master Sculptor Vulca APULU (APOLLO) "أبولو"

Description
From the temple of Minerva, Portonaccio, Veii. c. 510–500 BCE. Painted terra cotta, height 5'10" (1.8 m). Museo Nazionale di Villa Giulia, Rome.

"Tuscan order" is used to describe the characteristic Etruscan variation of Doric, with an unfluted shaft and simplified base, capital, and entablature.
Etruscans built rectangular temples on  a high platform, but often imbedded them within urban settings.

They were simple in form, but were embellished with dazzling displays of painting and terra-cotta sculpture.
They excelled at making huge terra-cotta figures for placement on temples.
Apollo is an example.
