A London antiquities dealer has withdrawn an ancient Greek amphora from sale due to evidence linking it to a notorious smuggler. The Kallos Gallery removed the item after an expert raised concerns about its origins.
The amphora, valued at £50,000, is believed to have come from an illicit excavation in Italy and was matched to a photograph of a convicted dealer. The gallery has removed the item from sale pending advice from authorities, stating they have no interest in handling tainted artworks.
