2500 years old, it was made by two people but named after only one of them. Questions were raised about it as soon as it arrived in its current home, of which it has been regarded as one of the great treasures. Now, after over 30 years, it is being returned to the land where it was found. What is it, and for whom was it NOT named?

I'm thinking more along the lines of Euphronios and his krater. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphronios Feb 05 06, 6:04 PM

Sorry, mochyn, that's not the item I had in mind. In any case, the famous Bust of Nefertiti has been in Berlin for over 80 years. Feb 05 06, 6:09 PM

...and at this point I should mention the Euxitheos as not being named... Feb 05 06, 6:12 PM

O.K., our posts crossed, so nine-tenths of a yay! But I'd still like the name of the other individual, spelled out in a post. Feb 05 06, 6:12 PM

Oh, we are crossing! A full yay to you, peasy! Feb 05 06, 6:13 PM

Why thankyou, ma'am. Feb 05 06, 6:13 PM

They were found by a tourist scuba diving in the early seventies, and have been classified as one of the most magnificent archaeological discoveries to date. Dated at around 2500 years old, and possibly abandoned by a ship maybe 200 years after creation of these items. What are they, who made them and where are they currently displayed? Which highly publicised European city, has a name which is not only misspelled, and has been for over 60 years by a city official, but the original spelling is after someone who not only doesn't exist, but sounds like something in the regional dialect? What, after 70 years, has been replaced by Canary Wharf? In 1468, an impressive gift was made to a certain city, but the city fathers had no proper place to put it. Over 60 years passed before they got around to thinking about appropriate housing, and a good 50 more before that site was completed. The result forms part of one of the world's great tourist attractions. What was this gift and where, exactly, can it be found? Which industry has finally left Witney after an association of over 350 years?
