Brussels Museum Gets Nicosthenes

"An interesting exchange was arranged between the Fogg Museum and the Royal Museums of Art and History, Brussels. This Museum owned an Attic black-figured amphora, complete except for a fragment bearing the signature of Nicosthenes. This fragment belonged to the Fogg Museum. At the suggestion of Professor Capart, the Director of the Royal Museums, the Fogg Museum gave the fragment to Brussels and received in return nine very interesting small terra cotta heads from Asia Minor, dating from the first or second century B.C.

Burr Memorial Fund a Gandharan relief of the Birth of Budda; from the Alpheus Hyatt Purchasing Fund a sixth-century Coptic frieze; a Persian fresco from the Prichard Fund.
