The catalogue presents this private collection, which brings together a wide range of works from many civilisations from Antiquity to the present day; it has never been exhibited in this way to the general public.
This collection will highlight a rich diversity of works spanning over 6,000 years. Celebrating the unifying power of art across cultures, the exhibition brings together key pieces such as the head of an ancient Egyptian royal figure carved in red jasper (1475–1292 BC), a Chinese bronze sculpture of a seated bear from the Han Dynasty (206 BC–25 AD), a Mayan mask pendant (200–600 AD), the jade cup of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir (1569–1627), and a chalcedony and silver-gilt bust of Emperor Hadrian (Southern Italy, circa 1240).
