THE SHIELD OF ACHILLES 
I’ve just found an ancient metal bowl on my land with this design. There’s gold flecks in it too. I’d love to know more about it

That’s pretty awesome – take it to your closest (but biggest) museum and see what they say!

Perhaps you could get it professionally appraised first. Read this link for info on appraisals: https://www.chubb.com/ca-en/individuals-families/resources/why-you-need-an-appraisal-for-your-collectibles-how-to-get-one.html Then if you think you might be interested in donating it, why not find the best museum you think would benefit from it and consider donating it in a loved one’s honor. And I would also ask that it be displayed with a plaque reflecting your bequest. Best Wishes!
