Extract

Among the latest acquisitions of the Cyprus Museum are seven pieces of bronze which, when put together, form the handles and circular rim of a large vessel.

Their history is as follows. They were found (together with a gold enamelled sceptre and two bronze tripods, a description of which I hope to give later) in a field near the Church of Hagios Armenis, at the village of Episkopi, the site of the ancient Curium. All the objects together were sold to an Armenian merchant of Limassol and were seized by the police of Larnaca in December, 1903, when they were about to be secretly exported from the Island. They have been kept at the Custom House at Larnaca till lately when they were transferred to my custody and deposited in the Cyprus Museum.
