- Attic Greek vase modeled int he form of a female head with superb, original details
- Laconian (Spartan) drinking cup with the interior decorated with four swimming dolphins
- Fine Egyptian turquoise faience openwork bracelet
- Etruscan terracotta lid depicting a reclining figure holding a ribbon
- Roman portable marble altar inscribed to Jupiter and dating to the 2nd-3rd century AD
Still, you need not be a museum to purchase. There are many objects under $500, including a superb collection of Roman pottery. Prices are listed for each object, along with complete descriptions, condition reports, provenance and scholarly references. Every object is backed by the company's lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
