Hellenistic period
The numerous regional artistic tendencies of the Hellenistic period (3rd-mid 1st century BC) can be appreciated through marble portraits of the Ptolemaic
rulers of Egypt, outstanding examples of miniature work in faience and ivory, pieces of Alexandrine pottery, and especially through a collection of gold
jewels, amongst which the so-called "Treasure of Thessaly" occupies pride of place.
