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, jewellery,
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bringing previously unpublished items to light.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.
