Ancient Corinthian Greek Terracotta Lekanis with Panthers, a Sphinx, and Harpies

Ancient Apulian Xenon Ware Oinochoe
A trefoil oinochoe with spreading foot and cylindrical handle, The body painted with a deer and an inverted palmette flanked by scrolls, egg-and-dart on the shoulder.
Statuette of an Elephant
Carved from a small limestone monolith, this statuette is certainly one of the first three-dimensional images of elephant in Near Eastern art; moreover, these large mammals were rarely represented in the rich animal iconography of this prominent culture.
Byzantine stone animal: double-headed
Carved from two fragments of dark green stone mottled with light patches (steatite probably), these two objects represent animals with highly stylized and abstract shapes.
Seal in the shape of a Pig
This seal, modeled in the shape of a stylized pig (the head is complete, but the body is a simple half-circle), was carved from a cream-colored limestone; it is pierced by a hole and was therefore intended to be worn as a pendant (necklace or bracelet).
Near Eastern Bowl with the Figurine of a Bull
The bowl is perfectly turned. The ceramic is beige, but the surface is entirely covered with colored paint. The element that makes this piece a very special, perhaps unique object, is certainly the statuette of the quadruped.
Hemispherical Stone Seal
Carved from a small yellowish beige pebble irregularly speckled with red, this seal is a small cylinder with a smooth and well-polished surface.
Hemispherical Syrian Limestone Seal with Animals
This seal was carved from a whitish limestone with darker undulated veins that give the impression of an artificial decoration, although it is perfectly natural. The object is pierced by a hole in its rounded part and would have therefore been worn on a string round the neck or wrist (necklace or bracelet).
