New objects from Egypt, Rome and Byzantium

In the past week many fascinating objects have been posted in our online shop. Among them is an Egyptian new year flask with wishes for Ptah and an amulet of a lion headed goddess. From the Roman empire there is a nicely preserved Galba denarius, medical instruments, glasses from a shipwreck find and skillful intaglios. Two byzantine pieces of jewellery are a testimony to the early christian art of the eastern Mediterranean.
Our personal highlight is a double spiral pendant from the Middle Bronze Age. Being a Munich based gallery we see it as the Bronze Age version of the traditional Bavarian “Charivari” (a costume jewellery).
