[QUOTE="Hamburger, post: 4071267, member: 17940"]Definitely. The blurb for the "Hellenistic" piece you linked to is a good example -- the bracelet "celebrates [...] ancient originals". I haven't been able to find anything very similar in the museum's online catalogue, so it might be "celebrating" something from a special exhibition rather than the permanent collection. That's why I thought it might help to try and date the box. I hope it's acceptable to post this cropped image, with due copyright acknowledgement to the museum and WP: [ATTACH=full]328796[/ATTACH] Can anyone put an age on the box? Certainly before the Met's current red and white "brand identity": [URL]https://www.metmuseum.org/blogs/now-at-the-met/2016/brand-identity[/URL] Plan your visit, take [I]at least[/I] twice the time you think you'll need -- and then add another day! We've only been once and were completely overwhelmed. Their website is also amazingly deep. Need distracting? Then take a peek down this little rabbit hole: [URL]https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2018/jewelry[/URL] It certainly was -- and great to get an answer so quickly, even if it wasn't what you'd hoped to hear.[/QUOTE]
