Arsinoe
Stone Magnet Size: MarbleKunsthistorisches Museum Wien / Neue Hofburg
This magnet features a larger-than-life marble head from Ephesus, believed to depict the Hellenistic queen Arsinoe III Philopator, and counts among the notable objects in the Collection of Antiquities at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna. Her wavy hairstyle and traces of a diadem identify her as a Ptolemaic ruler. Displayed on a fridge, pinboard, or whiteboard, the magnet brings a piece of ancient history into everyday life, making it as fitting a souvenir as it is a practical item for magnet collectors.
An original small gift for lovers of antiquity, and a memento of a visit to the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna.
