This Roman marble portrait head represents Menander, the renowned Athenian playwright whose works profoundly influenced both Greek and Roman literary traditions.

Presented within a contemporary Mediterranean collector's study, the sculpture becomes part of a dialogue between ancient intellectual heritage and modern living environments. Beyond its artistic qualities, the portrait evokes the enduring transmission of ideas across centuries.

An ongoing exploration of how ancient art continues to shape atmosphere, memory, and contemporary space.

This Roman marble relief fragment (2nd century A.D.) depicts an armed centaur carrying a spear, a figure that occupied a unique place within the visual language of the ancient world.

Half human and half animal, the centaur was often used to explore the relationship between instinct and reason, nature and civilisation. Though preserved only as a fragment, the sculpture retains a strong sense of movement and symbolic presence.

Presented within a contemporary Mediterranean interior, the work becomes part of an ongoing exploration of how ancient art can shape atmosphere, architecture, and daily living spaces.

Apulian red-figure pelike depicting Eros Thanatos, Magna Graecia, circa 4th century BC.

This vessel exemplifies the refined production of South Italian workshops, combining technical precision with complex iconography. The obverse depicts a winged Eros seated on a rocky outcrop, holding an open casket, accompanied by a tympanum, an attribute linked to Dionysian ritual practices. The treatment of anatomy and the detailed rendering of the wings highlight the quality of the painter’s hand.

The reverse presents a female head in profile, adorned with a sakkos decorated with wave patterns and added white pigment, reflecting the ornamental richness characteristic of Apulian ceramics.

The composition is framed by traditional decorative elements, including palmettes beneath the handles, a band of ovals at the neck, and a continuous meander at the base, reinforcing the visual balance of the piece.

The theme of Eros Thanatos—combining love and death—appears frequently in funerary contexts in Magna Graecia, symbolising the continuity beyond mortal existence and the connection between Dionysian beliefs and the afterlife.

Height: 31.8 cm
Condition: Good overall condition; minor dents and wear, restoration to the lip
Provenance: Former private Belgian collection (1980s); acquired at auction, France, 2026

Sacred ibis of the god Thoth – Egypt, Late Period (664–332 BC)

In Ancient Egypt, the ibis was a sacred bird associated with the god Thoth (Djehuty), a deity linked to wisdom, writing, knowledge, mathematics, the measurement of time, the moon, and magic. He was also considered a mediator between Horus and Seth, and the scribe who recorded the outcome of the judgment of souls in the court of Osiris, alongside Anubis.

His cult was extraordinarily long-lasting: Thoth was one of the three most important deities in the Egyptian pantheon, venerated from the Predynastic Period to the Ptolemaic Period. The ibis, as his sacred animal, became one of his most characteristic representations.

This small bronze sculpture, dated to the Late Period of Egypt (664–332 BC), shows the bird with its characteristic curved beak and relaxed posture. It retains a green-brown patina and has undergone minor restoration, in addition to the loss of its tail.

📏 Dimensions: 6.5 × 10 cm
🪶 Material: Bronze
📜 Provenance: Former collection of Dr. Hans Halter (Switzerland), before 1966; acquired at a German auction house, 2025.

At the end of the 19th century, archaeological excavations in Egypt began to transform our understanding of the Pharaonic world. Key figures such as the French Egyptologist Gaston Maspero and the Italian archaeologist Alessandro Barsanti worked in the Saqqara necropolis, where they documented numerous finds from funerary contexts.

Among these objects, ushabtis stand out—small figurines placed in tombs to accompany the deceased in the afterlife. According to ancient Egyptian beliefs, these figures magically acted in place of the deceased when they were required to work in the fields of Osiris.

One such example is the ushabti of General Padj-Horem-Hab, a blue faience figurine from the Late Period discovered near the pyramid of Unas. The hieroglyphic inscription identifies the individual and connects us directly to the personal history of the man buried more than 2,500 years ago.

We present a careful selection of works from the personal collection of Vicente Jiménez Ifergan, which have not been shown publicly until now. These pieces have been gathered over decades based on criteria of historical rigor, quality, and consistency.

Three works of particular relevance stand out: a Greek female figure in the Tanagra style (4th century BC), of remarkable formal delicacy; a Roman marble sculpture of Medusa's head (1st–2nd century AD), which stands out for its masterful expressive power; and an Egyptian bronze figure of the goddess Neith (Late Period, 26th–30th dynasties), testimony to the technical sophistication of the Saite period.

All of them stand out for their excellent state of preservation and their relevance within their respective historical contexts.
