I have the permission of Captain Pitt-Rivers and Mr. Trelawney Dayrell-Reed to describe anew the ‘Temple Pyx’ that is in the Pitt-Rivers Museum at Farnham, Dorset. It has been published in line-drawings, and its existence is well known, but photographs (pl. ix) of such an interesting piece of metalwork have been wanted for some time.

page 52 note 2 The gilding is markedly bright, and it has been suggested to me that the mount was re-gilded after its discovery.
