The collection comprises 363 artifacts and includes a rich variety of vessel shapes (trozzelle, amphorae, cups, alabastra, lekythoi, amphoriskoi, aryballoi, and oinichoai) in Mycenaean, Corinthian, Attic black-figure, Italic red-figure pottery, with black, brown, and red glaze, in Gnathia style, polychrome, geometric, subgeometric, banded, and acromatic styles. There are also examples of glass paste, bronze artifacts, and some specimens of coroplastic art and Indian sculpture.\n\nThe collection's significance lies in the uniqueness of certain pieces: among these stands out, for its remarkable artistic and historical value, a proto-Apulian bell crater from the second quarter of the 4th century BC, attributed to the circle of the Tarporley Painter. Exceptional is the particular and rare decoration the vase bears: the depiction of two female masks.
