Welcome to the virtual Blandford Collection of antiquities. The collection includes 3D scans of Greek and Roman artefacts, terracotta figures, pottery and fragments from Britain, Greece and Egypt. This collection isn’t yet well researched so it’s possible you’ll spot something we’ve missed. Please contact us with any insights (especially if you know what the unidentified copper object is!). The physical Blandford collection was donated to the University of Bristol by Dennis Blandford in 2014.
