On the right there are numerous bronze finds, weapons, fibulas and bridles for horses which had been discovered in Donoratico in a “ripostiglio” (storage) of an itinerant smith who worked in the villages of the area. The buried objects, used and broken, were a supply of raw material.
In the case on the right there are funeral gifts from tombs found in Bibbona, Guardistallo and in areas close to the Cecina River (end of 9th – beginning of 8th century BC). In particular, inside the case on the right we can observe the funerary objects coming from a tomb dating back to the end of the eighth century BC discovered near the town of Bibbona. We can see the classic bronze fibulae (brooches) from the Villanovian era and wheel-shaped pendants. In the center of the case is visible a moon-shaped razor characteristic of Villanovian well tombs.
