Hungarian National Museum

Held the four 'Csorvás' bronze weapons (Nos. 125-128) of Cypriot type; its 1891 Ohnefalsch-Richter bronzes (Nos. 129-150) and Zichy pieces were later transferred to the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest (2000)

1. 1879
   Count Ferenc Zichy sold or gave pieces of his Cypriot collection to the Hungarian National Museum (and the Museum of Applied Arts). The text puts the collection's formation at 1878-9, on a visit with Layard, from the family's undocumented recollection. Csornay-Caprez cites Hampel 1902 p. 86.

2. 1879
   Bought from an art dealer, mixed with Roman objects, the four so-called 'Csorvás' swords (now classed as spearheads, Nos. 125-128). Csornay-Caprez regards Csorvás as a fictitious findspot, and notes that the Makarska hoard was sold the same year.

3. 1891
   Bought from Max Ohnefalsch-Richter a set of Bronze Age copper-alloy tools and weapons (Nos. 129-150), probably from a cemetery at Ayia Paraskevi; only No. 129 is reported from there.

4. 1934–1952
   Under the 1934 Museums' Act ancient objects found outside Hungary were concentrated in the Museum of Fine Arts, to which the Zichy and 1891 pieces were transferred. The 1891 bronzes are said to be 'recently transferred'.
