Physical Description
The tablet measures 50 centimetres (20 in) by 30 centimetres (12 in), and is about between 2 millimetres (0.079 in) and 3 millimetres (0.12 in) thick.
When discovered, the tablet had been broken into multiple pieces, of which only seven have been found (Larissa & Giuliano Bonfante. The Etruscan Language, p. 179. 2002). The missing portion is believed by Etruscanists to contain only names and not details of the estate.
