The National Museum in Cracow contains three Etruscan sarcophagi, purchased in Florence by Wl. Czartoryski in 1884. They are made from terra rossa with a large admixture of volcanic tuff. Each object consists of four separate parts. Only some of them constitute an original whole, and the remaining ones are an assembly of various objects. The work conducted on the sarcophagi included the conservation of the weakened terracota with the Osolan KL resin solution, produced in Poland. The composition of the sarcophagi was cemented by means of joining the cracked fragments ( bols were inserted within the structure of tne walls ), and a supplementation of the select gaps of sculpture and polychromy. The fissures along the cracks were left untouched. In one of sarcophagi a wooden podium was employed in order to unify the height of various halves of the object
