In case none of these two suggestions would be adopted by the Dept. of Ant., I hope you will be able to find another solution acceptable as a fair half share to the authorities of the French Expedition.

The one fair half share solution which could be immediately adopted and resolve all difficulties seems to me still to be a division in which the Horned God would go to the C. M. and the silver and gold bowl to the Louvre. The rest of the finds could then be easily divided into balanced halves.

Yours sincerely

C. F. A. Schaeffer
