The Shefton Collection in Newcastle upon Tyne contains a fine array of
Greek and Etruscan objects and takes its name from its founder
Professor Brian Shefton (1919 – 2012). In spite of the importance of
this collection it has not been widely published and remains something
of a hidden gem. Brian Shefton was an insightful collector, as well as
a distinguished scholar of Greek and Etruscan archaeology, and the 14
papers presented here reflect the broad scope of the collection;
ranging across pottery, jewelery, terracottas and metalwork. The
contributions, written by leading experts in the field, focus on
specific objects or groups of objects in the Collection, providing new
interpretations and bringing previously unpublished items to light.
The history of the Shefton Collection is explored. Together these
contributions provide a tribute to a remarkable individual who made a
substantial and notable contribution to his discipline.
