There are also several Cypriote items from a sale at Sotheby's of Robert Philips Greg's collections,  and items from Percy Christian from Cyprus which might also be related to the Cesnola Lawrence collections, though they could easily have come from another source, particularly the Christian material as he was a resident of Cyprus and involved in excavations.

The items marked Bt. Lawrence or Lawrence above probably were acquired from George Fabian Lawrence a Wandsworth based dealer, but they could in fact be marked Lawrence meaning Lawrence-Cesnola collection and have come from an unrecorded source. This uncertainty is fueled by the absence of much reliable information for objects recorded in the later volumes of the catalogue of the second collection when the backlog was being recorded at haste, and bias was given to recording the object accurately in drawing rather than recorded information details.
