Cumulative facts and circumstances
Explain why the object fits the exception set forth above
While it cannot be documented, the work is said to have been sold by Piero Tozzi Gallery in New York to James Edwards, New York in 1963 from whom it was acquired by Antiquarium, Ltd., New York. The Tozzi gallery closed in the early 1970s. It was published and illustrated by Antiquarium in 1997. This gives reasonable assurance that the work had left it country of origin by 1970.
