Cumulative facts and circumstances
Explain why the object fits the exception set forth above
The Denver Art Museum currently has only a very small number of objects from the nomadic peoples of Asia in this period. While small, the addition of this piece makes a significant contribution to the collection and provides the opportunity to put object into public domain and facilitate further research.
