Adopt an Artefact - Red Figure Kylix

Cultural collections preserve the past to promote the future. UNEMA’s Adopt-an-Artefact program enables members of the community to make a tax-deductible donation to sponsor the conservation of artefacts in need of assistance. 100% of funds donated to conserve the Museum’s collections are used to help preserve UNEMA’s artefacts for future generations.

All conservation work is contracted to professional conservators. The cost of supporting the conservation of an artefact is listed on this webpage with each of the artefacts identified as an Artefact-In-Need, and any donation for conservation of $2 or more is fully tax-deductible. UNEMA is very grateful for every donation that supports the conservation of its collections.

MA1963.5.1 5th century BC Red Figure Attic Kylix

Χαίρετε (that’s Greek for hello). I am an exquisite 5th century BC red figure Attic Kylix (drinking cup) that knows how to party. Sadly, in addition to the beautiful palmette decorations and people adorning my rim, some surface residue from my storage cabinet has attached itself to my classical lines. These hardened globs require careful professional cleaning. Can you help me?
