Adopt an Artefact - Mycenaean Terracotta Bird Figurine, 1400 BC

Mycenaean Terracotta Bird Figurine

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.

G’day, I’m a small terracotta bird figurine from Mycenaean Greece c.1400 BC. Perhaps you can see the glue join on my neck where I was repaired before I arrived at UNEMA? The glue used to make that repair has failed, so I’m currently in two pieces. Can you help me become whole again?

Adoption Conservation Cost: $825, GST inclusive
