Etruscan vases & Artifacts in Orvieto Museum (Central Italy)

I enjoyed the beautiful view of The Cathedral of Orvieto, 
which is a large 14th century Roman catholic cathedral  
situated in the town of Orvieto in Umbria, central Italy.
I have seen this building quite a few times and have been inside 
and the detail is always surprising me with something i have not seen before. 



Opposite the cathedral is a Museum with Etruscan artifacts
which i had the pleasure of visiting today.
Below are pics of the Etruscan Crafts - ranging from vases to sculptures and such.






Roman Coin collection...










These craved Detailed lines are so beautiful and raw.

Oh Just a few i captured, i have so many beautiful pics to choose from
possibly this will inspire some new ideas for illustrative projects i have in mind.

blurred, over saturated, over inspired.... lol
