Sculptures of the Cesnola Collection of Cypriote Antiquities in the east entrance hall and north aisle
A museum handlist of the Cesnola Collection of Cypriote antiquities, issued by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1880 for visitors walking the east entrance hall and north aisle. Halftone plates show limestone votive figures in rows against plain grounds, numbered beneath, with conical caps, wreathed heads, pleated robes and stiff frontal poses that supply silhouettes, archaic drapery patterns and catalogue-style grid layouts.
