The Green Head, which takes its name from the colour of the material used, is one of the outstanding achievements of Egyptian round sculpture of all time. The artist's clearly expressed familiarity with the anatomical structure of the human face is just as unique as the certainty of its depiction and realisation in artistic form. Nevertheless, the Green Head should not be seen as a realistic portrait of an anonymous civil servant or priest, but as a successful attempt to convey the spiritual depth and transcendence of human existence.

The gilded bronze horses from a late classical Greek quadriga, which have been admired for two millennia, once adorned the imperial box at the Hippodrome in Byzantium. In 1204, Venice's holy warriors under Doge Enrico brought them to the lagoon city as booty from the 4th Crusade. When they were pulled up in front of St Mark's Cathedral and took their place above the main portal in the centre of the church façade, the onlookers on St Mark's Square were gripped by boundless enthusiasm. The horses have since travelled far and wide: an international tour also took them to Berlin. Reduction, modelled on the original bronze horses from the Museo Marciano in San Marco, Venice. Polymer ars mundi museum replica cast by hand; with bronzed surface, patinated by hand and partially gilded. Length 26 cm each. Weight 2.6 kg each.
