Buying ancient art

"Buying ancient treasures today is fraught with risks. Apart from fakes or stolen goods, many ancient artworks have been smuggled from archaeological sites and are being claimed by various governments. So if you dread the knock on your door in the dead of night by the Interpol, make sure you buy from legit sources, like Rupert Wace Gallery at Old Bond Street, London. . . . Ancient Egyptian art is perennially popular, especially those from the Old Kingdom (2500BCE) to the late Dynastic Period (664-332BCE)."
