==Description==

A digital companion and database accompanying the master's thesis [http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/124549 Vanth: An Iconographical Study of an Etruscan Psychopomp] via Stellenbosch University, South Africa.

This corpus of 100 images of Vanth includes most of the viable and available photos and drawings from the [[Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae-France]] and several more gathered from the online collections of various museums around the world. It began as a personal, free, and no-code digital alternative to an index card collection, but as part of the thesis, I have made the database open to access in the hope of offering interested scholars an easy, user-friendly starting point to the iconography of Vanth and the Etruscans.

Built in [https://www.notion.so/ Notion], a free online workspace, this database is an attempt to prove that one doesn't need coding skills or expensive and complicated data management software to manage a small database for their research.
