A pocket companion for the great halls of antiquity. Marble, bronze and gold from the world’s great museum collections, with the maker’s own marks still visible in the photograph.
Every artifact loads directly from the open catalogues of the great museums that hold it, with the museum’s own high-resolution photograph and notes.
Marble statues and reliefs, black-figure and red-figure pottery, bronze armour and votive figures from the classical and Hellenistic periods.
Gold pendants, carved limestone reliefs, painted sarcophagi and small objects from the Old Kingdom to the Late Period.
Mosaic panels, carved ivory diptychs, gold-ground icons and cloisonné enamel work from the eastern Roman world.
Portrait busts, blown glass vessels, Etruscan bronzes and carved gems from the Republic and Imperial periods.
Cylinder seals, cuneiform tablets, Assyrian relief panels and objects from Mesopotamia, Anatolia and the Levant.
Pre-Columbian goldwork, South Asian sculpture, African bronzes and other ancient material from beyond the Mediterranean.
A different featured artifact each day, framed inside a small warm-gold laurel ring, waiting to be looked at for a moment before the rest of life resumes. A small game. A random treasure.
One piece, framed in a gold laurel ring. A different work each morning from the whole of antiquity.
A light daily quiz — guess the period, the civilisation, or the material. No score kept.
A tap pulls a random artifact from the open catalogues — the whole ancient world as a lucky draw.
Every artifact photograph supports pinch-to-zoom, so the eye can travel across the surface and find the small marks of the maker’s tools — the tiny brush strokes on a vase, the file marks on a bronze rim, the flecks of pigment that survived on a limestone frieze.
High-resolution photographs from the museum’s own open catalogue. Zoom in to the surface marks and tool traces.
The piece’s date, its material, its cultural context and a short note on what it is and how it was used.
Every artifact links back to the museum’s own entry for the piece, with full provenance and catalogue notes.
A personal collection of pieces sorted by the hall they came from, ready to be leafed through at any moment.
One of the earliest large-scale marble figures made in Greece, carved in the Archaic period. The rigid frontal pose and stylised hair recall Egyptian prototypes, but the nudity and athletic proportions are distinctly Greek.
