EnkomiDear Maître,

After examining the material deposited at the Museum in 1955, I have . selected:

1°/ a small bag of sherds , which would be to be exported.

2°/ two "wavy line" bowls, for which I would need photographs.

Mr Karageorghis knows where this material is. He will be able to hand you the bag of sherds during your visit to Nicosia.

If you ask him, he will be able to have the photographs taken here of the two bowls in question, which will avoid unnecessary transport.
