Collection History: | Acquired by the National Museum (Rijksmuseum van Oudheden) as part of the 1828 purchase of a large number of items from Jean d’Anastasy, Consul-General of Sweden and Norway; it appears in the catalogue (Rijksmuseum van Oudheden inv. 3.1.6, compiled in 1827) on p. 95 as no. 9. The statement in Pleyte and Boeser 1897: p. v that it was found in Thebes by Jean d’Anastasy must be incorrect based on the timeline of the catalogue and sale (Dosoo/Preininger 2023: 110) |
