Pyrgi Tablet B (TM 146195) is one of a set of three golden lamellae, the so-called Pyrgi Tablets, which relate to the dedication of a sanctuary to the Phoenician Goddess Astarte by an Etruscan ruler. They were found in 1964 during excavations and are now in the Etruscan Museum in Rome. The holes in the tablets have been interpreted as the result of nailing the texts to the wood of the temple.
Pyrgi Tablet B (the middle one in the photograph) is the longer of the two Etruscan ones, the interpretation of which is still uncertain. In any case the Etruscan seems to be complementary to the Phoenician example, and not the perfect bilingual so desired by scholars of Etruscan.
