Descripción: University of Newcastle.
«The collection includes Roman, Near Eastern and Celtic items, but objects of Greek and Etruscan manufacture represent its main focus. The core of the collection is an extensive range of pottery, ranging in date from Mycenaean to Hellenistic. In particular, it holds some fine examples of Attic red-figure and over 100 pieces of Attic black-glaze pottery, as well as Attic white-ground lekythoi, used as oil flasks and often found as offerings at tombs. In addition to the Attic pottery, the museum has a collection of Corinthian pots, characterised by orientalising decoration using motifs adopted from the Near East. There are also examples of Mycenaean and Geometric pottery, red-figure of South Italian and Etruscan manufacture, and Etruscan bucchero pottery.»
