These burial urns in the shape of early 9th-8th Century Etruscan hut houses had a particular symbolic function: the deceased would live on forever in a house where they had lived their life. For a similar example with suspension poles extending past the roof line, see Dr. F. Buranelli, The Etruscans - Legacy of a Lost Civilization, Memphis, 1992, p. 41, no. 2.
