Dr Thomas Kiely, British Museum, notes that 'The sketches in the letter, apart from your rings [1923.874], show a Late Cypriot Bronze Age leach-earring [although could they be 1923.868] and a series of five simple rings that seem to be looped together, similar to things we have in the BM so I assume the writer was referring to things he saw/weighed there (which is implied by the text).'.
