Vanth is the Etruscan Goddess of Death.
She appears when death is near
and also helps guide the newly dead to the Underworld.
Vanth is depicted
as a winged woman, wearing a short skirt and with only leather straps
across her bare chest.
There are sometimes eyes on her wings, symbolic
of the omnipresence of death. Vanth’s name means “one who keeps the
door.”
