The Cypriot collection
The college's art and artifact database (TriArte, shared with Haverford and Swarthmore) lists forty-four terracotta Cypriot vessels described as gifts of the Metropolitan Museum, and a 2016 search for 'Cyprus' found seven glass vessels, none from the Cesnola collection; Astrom (1965) was shown Roman glass from the Cesnola collection there (2016)
