The 40 works of art featured represent a broad range of objects and materials, both sacred and utilitarian, in metal, marble, gold, ivory, and terracotta.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSculptures of deities and architectural elements are joined by depictions of athletes, animals, and performers, as well as by funerary reliefs, perfume vases, and jewelry.
