Wine jar depicting a grazing deer and a panther (530-520 BC), wine jug in form of female head (480-470 BC). The ancient Greek art section displays pottery such as Protogeometric 'bird vase" (10th c. BC), mould-made vases including one in the shape of a reclining woman (510-500 BC). Statues such “Child holding a Hare” (320-310 B.C.), Male in Minoan loincloth (2000-1700 BC). And admire the detailed work on the Gold spiral finger ring (2nd c.BC) and Earrings with pendent Sphinxes (late 3rd - early 2nd c. BC). There’s a section for ancient Cypriot art that has Cypriot twin-necked jugs. The 4th floor is devoted to recreated scenes from daily life in antiquity which like the rest of the museum is extremely well done.
