A type of neck amphorae found in large numbers in Etruscan site in Italy, and not in Greece, so that they were originally thought to be Etruscan-made, Tyrrhenian being an old name for Etruscan. It is now know that they were made in Athens specifically for export to Italy. Komasts (dancers) and the adventures of Herakles are among the most popular subjects for Tyrrhenian vases. The artists to whom these vessels are attributed to are known as the Tyrrhenian Group.
