As the Museum's entire purchase fund amounted to only £1.4 million at the time, the hoard had to be purchased with the assistance of donors that included the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the National Art Collections Fund (now the Art Fund), and the J. Paul Getty Trust.
由于博物馆当时的整个购买基金仅有140万英镑，因此不得不在国家遗产纪念基金会（英语：National Heritage Memorial Fund）、国家艺术藏品基金会（今艺术基金会（英语：The Art Fund））和盖蒂信托（英语：J. Paul Getty Trust）等捐助者的帮助下收购该宝藏。
