This week's top stories:
IS IRAQ'S GREATEST TREASURE ON
ITS WAY TO AMERICA?
LONDON. A plan to send the
Nimrud gold on a world tour is being considered
in Baghdad. The Warka Vase, which was looted and then recovered, may also
be
included in this travelling exhibition. The show could go to eight
American
venues, as well as to museums in Europe and Japan, and it might start its
tour as early as next spring. The proposal, which is backed by the US
National Geographic Society, is likely to prove highly controversial in
Iraq.

MARKET BOUNCES BACK IN NEW YORK
IMPRESSIONIST AND MODERN ART SALES
NEW YORK.
A year of thinner sales and
anaemic consignments were reversed
last week at the main Impressionist and Modern art sales here, as both
Sotheby's and Christie's had very little difficulty finding buyers for
their
top lots. The two evening sales totalled $242 million, doubling the $125
million made for the same sessions last May. Adding in the Part II
sessions,
a total of $283 million was spent on Modern and Impressionist art between
4
and 6 November.

BRITISH MUSEUM SHOW CELEBRATES
AMATEUR ARCHAEOLOGISTS
Keith Bradshaw, a 71-year old
pensioner from Kent, and amateur
archaeologist, discovered the so-called Ringlemere cup, a highly worked,
if
crushed, gold conical cup from the Bronze Age. Today it is valued at
£270,000. Now the vessel is one of the 350 objects included in an
exhibition
at the British Museum opening on 21 November (until 14 March 2004) which
celebrates the contribution of amateurs to Britain's archaeological
heritage.
