In November 2019, ARCA published a blog post raising questions about a suspect 5th-century BCE polychrome antefix depicting a dancing maenad, which had been consigned to a Christie’s auction and that ARCA believed the piece warranted closer scrutiny. That artefact was eventually repatriated to Italy.
Now there is another one coming up for sale at the same auction house, but in New York. For those unfamiliar, an antefix is a decorative architectural element once placed along the eaves of ancient roofs to conceal the joints between tiles.
