Section of the AAMD Guidelines relied upon for the exception to 1970
Informed judgement that works were outside of the country of modern discovery before 1970
Explain why the object fits the exception set forth above
Because Millicent Jick was acquiring other objects in the late 1960s and early 1970s, it is very likely that she bought this at that time. Its acquisition in all likelihood pre-dates Egypt's Law No. 117 of 1983.
