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

These works have a provenance established to circa 1985. The donor of these objects acquired a number of works of ancient jewelry on the art market between the late 1970s and ca. 1993. Most are common types for which there is no additional provenance information. VMFA decided to make an exception to the AAMD guidelines in order to bring these objects into a free, publicly accessible, educational institution, where they could be studied, displayed, and publicized.
