Celtic Metalwork - from the World of Celtic Art Gallery. Nice pics of rare pieces for the web - engraved mirror, embossed shield, embossed helmet, and more.

Cybermuseum: Mycenean to Greek Art - a simple but remarkably effective idea to arrange the pics in roughly chronological order against a background of the universe.

Irish High Crosses, 8th to 10th century - since the Irish may have invented this art form, it's very satisfactory to be able to show some early Irish crosses too.

Iro-Frankish and Anglo-Frankish Art - interesting terms used to designate very early European material that hasn't yet come together to form the definitive Carolingian whole.

Late Roman Cameos - absolutely stunning photos of two late Roman cameos in the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum, which I've incorporated into a small frame so you can find them easily. But you really must visit the Kunsthistorisches Museum for its own sake too: it's a glorious site!

Laocoon and his Sons - very nice pics from the Digital Imaging Project. I've started you at this very important and famous Hellenistic statue, and you can use the links to get to the rest of the images - which span the aeons between the Stone Age and the 20th century.

The Lindau Gospel Covers - truly remarkable page from the Morgan Library. Enlarge each cover by clicking on it, or better still click on the javascript navigation and enlarge smaller sections even more. Check out Medieval gem settings with lions' claws! Lovely use of the technology.
