Description
English: From a deposit of ornaments which was found in 1905 by D. G. Hogarth in the soil beneath the central basis of the archaic temple of Artemis of Ephesus. Apparently votive offerings made at the end of the 7th or the beginning of the 6th century B.C. The greater part of the find is at Constantinople, but a portion was assigned to the British Museum, which had undertaken the excavations.
