According to the museum plaque, these are "attributed to the Ragusa Group, ca. 575-500 BCE"; however, the Ragusa Group is dated to the first third of the 6th c. BCE.

A couple years ago I went through an obsession with folding things as small as I could. These are some of the results, photographed on top of a Goran-style bowl that I made yesterday out of printer paper (64x64 grid) (which makes an excellent backdrop for such models!)
I realized that I'd never uploaded any photos from this vein of thought, so here it is. I've also got the usual cranes and such, but that's kind of boring so I won't bother.
My 1st 'Tilt Shift Effect' attempt. This is the only photo that I have suitable for it. Appreciate you comment on this.
Best view in LARGE format.

One of 12 miniature dioramas at the Boston Public Library featuring artists in their environments.
Jane Avril became Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's favourite model. Jane always admitted that by flinging her to fame in colour Toulouse-Lautrec immeasurably widened her appeal. Sometimes Jane Avril would dance and sing as Toulouse-Lautrec worked in his studio and on occasions she persuaded him to leave his usual Montmartre haunts and revisit with Jane the Bal Bullier who from time to time crossed the Seine to take a busman's holiday into her past.
Prior to the invention of photography in 1839, the only way to have your likeness made was to hire an artist to paint your portrait. One of the most economical and popular forms was a very small portrait called a miniature. It was often painted with watercolor on a small piece of ivory or some other stable medium.
My guess is that this miniature dates to sometime in the early 1800s, although it could possibly be a bit older.
Lea's Cigarettes "Miniatures" (series of 50 issued in 1912)
#74 King Henry VIII (aged around 30) painted probably by a German artist
This manuscript, illustrated with 155 marginal paintings, is one the few surviving “marginal psalters,” in which images provide a pictorial commentary on the Biblical text. Other examples include the Khludov Psalter (ca. 850 CE, Moscow, State Historical Museum, Muz. 129), the Barberini Psalter (ca. 1050 CE, Vat. Barb. Gr. 372), the Theodore Psalter (1066 CE, London, British Library, Add. Ms. 19,352), and a Cyrillic psalter made in Kiev (1397 CE, Saint Petersburg, National Library of Russia, cod. OLDP, F6). The Walters' psalter was apparently copied from the same eleventh-century model as the Saint Petersburg manuscript, as the iconography of the two is very similar.

First attempt at miniature scale fleet building, in a slightly steampunk tone.
The name given to this particular fleet is Russian, being roughly translated as "torment." (And by roughly translated, I mean I used Google traslator, and I don't know how reliable that is.)
I decided to abandon my old method of storing my miniatures (using shelves - www.flickr.com/photos/spilth/211401021/in/set-72157594351... and start using plastic bins for them. The bins allow me to still keep them sorted by type, but forgo keeping them sorted by size and count. Keeping them sorted by type, size and count makes them really easy to find, but extremely annoying to put back. Now my friends and I can just put them back in the correct Type bin and be done with them. It makes finding them a little bit more time consuming but I think it's a good trade off.
I also decided to move my books to the other side of the room and maybe get rid of the book shelf on the opposite, thus giving everybody a little more room around the table during games.
