Percy Manning Archaeological Archive : Artefact Collection

Percy Manning donated a large number of objects to the Ashmolean during his lifetime. The Museum also purchased the bulk of his collection in 1921, after it had been put up for auction. The project has started to integrate the documentary archive with these objects, with digital images of some objects accessible on this website. The following are a selection of the range of objects which can be found in his collection.
