Cross inside three circles with a circle at the center

Italy, National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia, Rome

A small cross inside three circles painted on a vase is dated 670 BC, a pre-Christian cross inside a circle. On a closer look, the three circles might represent the sun, this being a Solar Disc. In between the circles is a bird with an oddly shaped triangle body.

It is located at the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulla, Rome.
