The ancient items in the collection represent a wide variety of cultures and eras of the ancient world, from from the 3rd millennium BCE to 7th century CE and from Scotland to Iran. Made of stone, bronze, iron, terracotta, faience, and plastered linen, these objects provide insights into ancient daily life, death, economy, and society. The ceramic vessels and lamps, in particular, show how designs evolved to reflect new production methods and artistic styles while still maintaining functionality.<\/p>\n
