Some other artifacts from Ephesus.
What's so significant about this location is the fact that it was home to many different, great civilizations including ancient greeks, imperial romans and early christians, and it is said to be founded by Amazonians. It was first built in 10th century BC, but recent excavations stretched the timeline all the way back to 6000 BC. The intricate works made out of stone, ivory, clay, marble, copper and gold carry the fingerprints of so many different cultures. It's hard not to feel amazed by such a big piece of human history while walking around.
Tiny cups with powder are make-up containers. Just imagine the greek or roman woman who use these to have her make-up done, and go out to see the play in the great theatre nearby, which had the capacity of 20k people! Right below them are surgical tools, crafted in great detail.
Tiny egyptian priest statute is a bonus and was a lovely surprise to see here. It was naturally a low-light environment so the photos aren't excellent, but I did my best.

(Amazon series #1) Otrera: Queen Mother          Otrera (Ow-tee-reh-ra) is the queen mother of the race of Amazons. In some versions she is the initial offspring of the union between Ares and the nymph Harmonia, while in others she is the consort of Ares from which the Amazons are born; with such notable daughter heroines being Hippolyta, Antiope, and Penthesilea, among others.
Otrera and the Amazons are credited with founding the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world for its massive scale. Here, Queen Otrera and the amazons placed a statue of Artemis under an oak tree and held an annual war dance in celebration of Artemis. Some Amazons, devout followers of Artemis, and similar to the heroine Atalanta, vowed a life of chastity.
Appolonius of Rhodes describes the Amazons locations as the island of Dia, a desert island full of ravening birds in the black sea where the Amazons held their shrine to Ares. In the Argonautica, reaching the island, Jason and the heroes encounter the “Birds of Ares” which rain down feathered darts but are driven away by the loud racket of clanging armor. 
The hero and giant slayer, Bellerophon, falsely accused of raping Queen Stheneboea, is sent to King Iobates of Lycia as punishment. As typical in these tales, the king wants to strategically remove the hero, and sends him on the impossible task of fighting the Amazons and Killing Queen Otrera, to punish the Amazon’s for their roles in supporting the Trojans in the war for Troy. Although not named, it’s believed that Otrera dies by Bellerophon’s hands in battle.

Random headcanon:
Diana (Wonder Woman) is said to be made of clay, right? Alongside all the other Amazonian women. Hear me out: any wounds they get are healed with either clay, or through the art of Kintsugi.
Kintsugi is the art of repairing pottery and other such ceramics with gold.
