"Bronze vessels with twin arched swinging handles. Vessels used at banquets for carrying wine or water. From a tomb in Derveni, Greece, 325 - 300 BC." I know this is not a very good photo, but I thought it would be interesting to see the incredible craftsmanship. I find it difficult to take photos in some museums. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

---I find it difficult to take photos in some museums---

I'm often dealing with this problem as well, Vicki, because using external flash gear for proper (indirect) lighting of the subject matter is mostly prohibited in museums and/or churches.
Your capture still shows the very interesting details of these high cultural vessels very well. To me you've achieved the best possible result in these difficult conditions, so well done!

Now when we read about such vessels, we will be able to picture them because of your wonderful photo Vicki.
If this were the Olympics, I would give you the Gold Medal for your Bronze Photo.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
