Extract

These two remarkable chalices come from surreptitious diggings in the eastern necropolis of Marium and were acquired by the Cyprus Museum, the first in 1944 and the second in 1947. The first of the two has been summarily described and illustrated in my Guide to the Cyprus Museum (Nicosia, 1947) 54, pl. XIV, 1, but I avail myself of this opportunity to describe both of them in greater detail in honour of the author of A History of Cyprus, to whom the Island owes a great debt of gratitude. As already stated, the two chalices come from the eastern necropolis of Marium. We know that this town possesses two necropolises, the eastern and the western, both of which have been repeatedly the scene of intensive excavation: by Ohnefalsch-Richter (1885–6), the Cyprus Exploration Fund (1889–90) under the direction of Messrs. Munro and Tubbs, the Cyprus Museum under the direction of the late Curator M. Markides (1916) and, finally, by the Swedish Cyprus Expedition (1929). Since then no scientific work has been undertaken in this area, although, as already hinted, surreptitious diggings, mostly in the eastern necropolis, have taken place periodically.
