The Byzantine glass jug  – 
A rare and important glass pilgrims flask with religious symbols, from Jerusalem. It was acquired between 1929-1947 and was published by my late teacher, Prof. Dan Barag, in his most famous article ‘Glass Pilgrim Vessles from Jerusalem – Part 1’, in: Journal of Glass Studies, vol. XII, Corning, 1970

 The Greek bronze lion – 
A wonderful early Greek work of art, with powerful expression and very fine condition. 

The Roman marble Griffin – 
A magnificent sculpture of a mythological creature with great charm and beauty. The griffin was one of the attributes of Apollo, the god of the arts, and this griffin could have been part of a group sculpture with Apollo.

The Roman marble portrait head of a man – 
A fine Roman portrait sculpture of very pleasant character, in good style and condition. The peaceful expression of the man’s portrait creates a pleasant impression and atmosphere around it.
