The Servants:
the man of medicine, the fisherman, the musician

As we said, the Etruscans will put in their tombs all they would need in the next life, so as they did this with horses and chariots -symbols of power- they would do that also with households or wealth symbols. These 3 servants are all symbols of wealth:
The Man of Medicine: symbolizing good health is recognizable because the arms that holds a cup has a snake around it.

The Fisherman: symbol of food and abundance.
The Musician: symbol of amusement and joy of life.
