A superb heavy cast bronze mirror decorated with a fine incised palmette above two cast volute scrolls. Between the scrolls are two holes which would have been used to attach a handle made from another material such as ivory.
This mirror epitomises the simple aesthetic of Archaic Greek art and begs the viewer to ponder who may have gazed into its polished reflection over 2500 years ago.

A grey burnished pottery vessel in the form of a ram with a suspension loop on the back. The vessel has an opening on the chest area of the animal but the exact purpose of this shape is not known although it is highly likely to have served a ritual or votive purpose.
The body of the ram is modelled in a simple and abstract manner but the face is surprisingly detailed including defined eyes, nostrils and mouth.
