Thank you for this. I work with silver but not anything resembling this artistry. I will watch this many more times for the education it provides.

It focuses on ancient artifacts. There are extraordinary examples of ancient metalwork on display, along with fascinating sculptures thousands of years old.

Amazing that there were so many ancient cultures of such skill and ability, then all that was lost, for various reasons.
