Metal jewellery, embossed plaques and a pale stone object from Lapithos Tomb 403, laid out in rows for photographing — Photograph: Swedish Cyprus Expedition, 1927–31. Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm, C00337. Public domain (CC0).

Description

Finds laid out in rows on a pale ground: five thin rectangular metal plaques across the top, three with a frontal face and two with a standing figure in relief. Below are two loop earrings with small bead clusters, two plain rings and a disc with concentric rings around a central boss. A pale cylindrical object on a long pin lies at left, and about ten small domed discs, two rosette-patterned plaques, a bead and a wire ring fill the lower rows.

Description, scan 2: A round, dark object with a mottled surface and a large central hole, shown face on against a plain grey card. Lighter speckled areas cover the left and lower parts, and a bright spot sits beside the hole. The photograph is soft and out of focus, so fine surface detail is hard to make out.
Description, scan 3: A round, fairly flat object is shown face-on against a plain grey backdrop, filling most of the frame. Its surface has dark and pale patches and a darker rim, but the image is so blurred that any engraved design or the stone's material cannot be made out clearly.
Description, scan 4: A round object with a wide central hole is shown from above against a pale grey ground. Its dark body fades to paler edges and rim, and its surface detail is soft. The print sits on a card with a yellowish border, a number label in the lower right corner and blue ink along the bottom edge.
