ANTIQUITIES

Much of the collection of antiquities arrived as a transfer from the Classics Department in the mid-twentieth century. The collection is very deep in examples, mostly of small scale, of Roman sculpture, bronze tools and implements, as well as epigraphs. A representative selection of Greek red- and black-figure ceramics are also included as well as some very fine examples of Egyptian sculpture and tomb artifacts.
