  A Mycenaean "psi" figurine
by shrimp56
 
 

The shop at the National Archaeological Museum has a lovely range of reproductions of ancient artifacts. And not all are expensive.

What to buy: This little "psi" figurine, named so for its resemblance to the Greek letter of the alphabet, was probably used in religious cult rites. It is about 3 inches high. The orginal dates from 2400-2000 BCE.

What to pay: This one was 22 euro.
