The First Cyprus Treasure or ''Lamboussa Treasure'' is the name of a major early Byzantine silver hoard found near Kyrenia, Cyprus. Currently in the British Museum's collection, the treasure is largely composed of liturgical objects that may have been belonged to an ancient church or monastery.〔(British Museum Collection )〕 It is called the ''First Cyprus Treasure'' to distinguish it from the so-called ''Second Cyprus Treasure'', which is now split between the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cyprus Museum.〔(Metropolitan Museum Collection )〕 ==Discovery== The hoard was found by accident at the end of the nineteenth century near the Acheiropoietos Monastery, west of Kyrenia at the ancient site of Lambousa. It is unclear why the treasure was deposited, but it may have been deliberately hidden to evade the invading Arab armies of 653 AD. Following its discovery, the entire treasure came into the possession of the French aristocrat Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, Duc de Dino, who in turn sold it to the British Museum in 1899.
