Overview
It preserves artefacts found during excavations at the Etruscan archaeological site of Ortaglia, a few kilometres from Peccioli. The dimensions and decorations of parts of a building and votive objects (votive offerings, loom weights and spools for thread, typical of women's work) found in a well lead back to the presence of a temple or shrine dedicated to a female deity. The centrepiece of the collection is an Attic red-figure kylix attributable to the Greek painter Makron, active in Athens around 490-480 BC.
