VIII.—A Byzantine Silver Treasure from the district of Kerynia, Cyprus, now preserved in the British Museum
Year: 1900
Type: article
Abstract: The treasure described in the following notes was discovered a few years ago in a mound near the monastery ofAcheripoetos(Aχειροποιητός), which is situated about six miles west of Kerynia, on the north coast of the island. It originally consisted of three larger objects and about thirty-six spoons, and the whole, with the exception of eleven or twelve spoons, has been acquired by the British Museum. The larger objects are a flat dish, possibly a paten; a basin; and a hexagonal vessel for suspension which was perhaps used as a lamp or censer.
