| Scope and Content | Part of the collection of images, 1906-1910, of the British School at Athens excavations at Sparta, Laconia. The original description in the SPHS register reads: "Sparta: miscellaneous, bronze objects". |
| Notes | Date range is based on the excavation of Sparta 1906-1910. Similar to BSA SPHS 01/3031.8031 (see related record) and an exact match for the plate in The sanctuary of Artemis Orthia at Sparta (1929). Although the original caption indicates that these are miscellaneous bronze objects, they are solid lead figures. |
