Cypriot antiquities, George and Nefeli Giabra Pierides Collection

This is the first of two posts on the Pierides family's collections. Here, I review the history of the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation's George and Nefeli Giabra Pierides Collection. I show the source of its Cypriot antiquities - nineteenth-century looting - but there is too little information to say anything else.

The origins of the Pierides family's collections

The Pierides family are an 'old nationalist Cypriot family' (Leriou, 2008: 2). At some time, every collecting family member held diplomatic office for the UK, the USA, Sweden, Germany, or Austria (Pierides, 1973: 9-10).

Apart from the second Demetrios Zeno Pierides, every collector also held political office as a Member of Parliament of Cyprus (under British rule) (ibid.).

The founder of the Pierides Foundation Museum, Demetrios Zeno Pierides, said that early Cypriot antiquarians 'preserved on their own soil a large number of cultural treasures of Cyprus' to prevent 'foreign collectors and looters' illegally exporting Cypriot antiquities (Pierides, 2002: 15; 1973: 9).

Demetrios Pierides collected antiquities between 1839 and 1895; then his collection was split in two (and it now forms two private museum collections).

The George and Nefeli Giabra Pierides Collection

Gabriel (or Kyprael, or Giabra) Pierides inherited one part of Demetrios Pierides' collection; and he continued collecting between 1895 and 1928. George Giabra Pierides cared for the collection between 1928 and 1995 (but he did not collect any antiquities).

Daughter Clio Triantafyllides and her husband, Bank of Cyprus Chairman Solon A. Triantafyllides cared for the collection between 1995 and 1999 (but they did not collect any antiquities).

In 1999, the Triantafyllides established the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation, George and Nefeli Giabra Pierides Collection (of antiquities collected between 1839 and 1928).

Based upon a catalogue number in another publication of artefacts from George Giabra Pierides' collection, it has at least 874 objects (Karageorghis, 1965: 8 - Plate 14, Figs. 1-2); but only 444 were published in this book.

The collecting process

Karageorghis (et al, 2002: 17) acknowledged that it was 'quite possible' that 'many' artefacts had been 'acquired' (looted) from cemeteries in and around Larnaca (Karageorghis et al, 2002: 17); and that others had been taken from the 'looted' cemeteries of Enkomi, Hala Sultan Tekke and/or Kition (ibid.: 46).

Karageorghis observed imbalances in the material in private collections, which could distort historical understanding: for example, there were 'very few' bronzes, because collectors 'usually' did not want objects that decayed easily (ibid.: 170).

He may have been exposing unscientific collecting, or active destruction, when he noted that there were 'few' complete statues, because 'most' collectors only wanted the easily-transportable heads (ibid.: 145).

Academic access

Vassos Karageorghis was 'the only archaeologist who ha[d] had access' to the George and Nefeli Giabra Pierides Collection between the early 1950s and its display in the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation in 1999 (Karageorghis et al, 2002: 11).

Karageorghis knew Nefeli Pierides from his home village, Trikomo; and she introduced him to the Pierides family. With his wife, Jacqueline Karageorghis, Vassos Karageorghis wrote his first Pierides collection catalogue in 1952 (ibid.).

Findings

All of the 444 artefacts published from this collection were probably looted antiquities, from between 1839 and 1895. Of them, 443 (99.77%) had no information whatsoever.

[Marc Fehlmann found 98.6% in a comment on Looting Matters. David Gill then discussed Fehlmann's comment in a blog post on Cyprus and Private Collections.]

The other 1 had probably been looted from Greek Cypriot majority mixed Larnaca Kamelarga. (1 from 444 is a meaninglessly small sample, but I will add it to any complete study.)

At least, in this case, none of the looted antiquities was a conflict antiquity. These artefacts' collection was culturally destructive; but it was not politically harmful, and it did not have the same human cost as conflict antiquity collecting. Unfortunately, the Pierides Foundation Collection was very different.
