Rupert Wace sold this Pseudo-Corinthian bronze helmet, 5th century BC at the opening of the TEFAF Maastricht fair.
The organisers reported more than 10,000 visitors attended the fair preview on March 12.
Big sales at TEFAF tend to be slow burners - the event is more about considered sales spread out over its duration than a mad rush on the first day.
However, London antiquities specialist Rupert Wace had one of his best openings of the fair, selling 20 items by mid-afternoon on preview day including a sculptural Pseudo-Corinthian bronze helmet, 5th century BC.
