Section of the AAMD Guidelines relied upon for the exception to 1970
Cumulative facts and circumstances
Explain why the object fits the exception set forth above
At the time of this gift the DAM held very few pieces of this period and style, and significant examples are rare. Questions arose about the stela's authenticity, so it entered the DAM's collection as a non-accessioned piece. Now accessioned into the DAM's permanent collection, it is hoped further research will offer more information.
