I have been looking through the consignment list of Christian Boursaud, dated 24 September 1985. The items were intended for the December 1985 sale at Sotheby's in London (9 December 1985).
Number 37 is listed as 'ANTEFIXE ETRUSQUE TERRE CUITE' with a reserve of £2000.
I presume that a due diligence search would make the link should the antefix resurface on the antiquities market.
Discussion of the archaeological ethics surrounding the collecting of antiquities and archaeological material.
