The Kallos Gallery in Mayfair , London , has removed a black-figure amphora from sale.

Archaeologist Dr Christos Tsirogiannis found evidence that led him to conclude the amphora probably came from an illicit excavation in Italy .

He matched it to a Polaroid photograph that appears to show the same object in the hands of Giacomo Medici , who was convicted in 2004 of dealing in stolen artefacts.
