Italy: Etruscan wall painting from the Monterozzi Tomb, 6th-4th century BC. A man clad, perhaps, in silk, playing a lyre. The Monterozzi Necropolis, dating from BC, contains some of the finest examples of Etruscan wall paintings to survive. In particular the murals in the Tomb of the Bulls (Tomba dei Tori) are associated with a homosexual theme. The male lyre-player in this fresco has a substantial and barely concealed erection.
