DEPARTMENT OF ANTIQUITIES CYPRUS.

CERTIFICATE OF ANTIQUITY.

No. 89/36.

This will certify that permission was granted to: A. Westholm Esq., on behalf of the Pennsylvania University Museum Expedition on the 31st March, 1937 to export a box containing a bronze figurine of a Satyr holding jug and drinking cup under Export Licence No. 35 for special preservative treatment in Athens. To the best of my knowledge and belief this article is an antiquity greatly exceeding an age of 100 years.
