The ministry said Sunday that the head, depicting Hermes at a &quot;mature age&quot;, one of many that served as street markers in ancient Athens, appears to be from around 300 BC, that is, either from the late 4th century BC, or the early 3rd century.

This undated photo provided by the Greek Culture Ministry on Wednesday, June 10, 2020, shows an 8th Century B.C. figurine of a horse from the so-called Geometric period of ancient Greek art that was listed for auction by Sotheby's in New York in May 2018, with an estimated price of $150,000-250,000. The Greek culture ministry said Wednesday, June 10, 2020 it will seek the repatriation from New York of a 2,700-year-old bronze horse statuette, which it says was illegally exported from Greece, after a U.S. court rejected an auction house’s bid to proceed with its sale.
