Egyptian scarab
Carved light green limestone heart scarab, once placed on the throat, chest, or heart of the Mummy. Nine lines of hieroglyphics and Egyptian symbols at the bottom and lines on top. Some were worn by the deceased on a necklace, or mounted in gold settings as a pectoral. Heart scarabs provided the bearer with the assurance that at the final judgment as depicted in the Book of the Dead, the bearer would be found "True of Voice" and accepted into the eternal afterlife by the God Osiris. 18th Dynasty.
Antique Ancient and antique Asian antiquities and antiques statue
Magnificent carving of a wooden temple guardian or Nio figure standing on a base, the fabulous rendering of an elaborate military costume, holding an offering left hand, a lion on his left leg, a dynamic display of power and realism characteristic of late 14th-century Japanese sculpture. Traditionally placed at the entrance of a temple or shrine for security and protection.
Greek pottery
Three-handled terracotta vessel. Black figures on a red background: a horseman on one side, a stag on the other. Highlighted in red and white. Covered in an earthen patina.
