Sevso treasure response

An interesting letter to the Times of London from archeologist-patriarch Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn, regarding Bonhams' exhibition of the Sevso hoard. What can one say about the following?

It is an affront to public decency that a commercial dealer should [put the Sevso hoard on display] — even if many archaeologists, such as myself, will take the opportunity of going to inspect it.
