From the Collection of a Connoisseur.

Leo Mildenberg (1913-2001) is one of the most important classicists of the 20th century, having founded the numismatic auction house arm of Switzerland’s Bank Leu. A world-renowned numismatist, collector and philanthropist, his special passion was for animals in ancient art. Over a period 40+ years he built up a remarkable collection devoted exclusively to models of ancient Egyptian, near Eastern, Greek, and Roman animals. His collection was exhibited at several museums from 1981 to 1997 before being sold by Christie’s in London in 2004, realizing more than $5 million. These four volumes offer a comprehensive record of the finest collection of its kind ever assembled.
