Cumulative facts and circumstances
Explain why the object fits the exception set forth above
This work has provenance established to 1988, with a strong probability that it dates back to 1947, although the Museum is not able to verify that date. The addition of this work introduced a form and type of object new to the VMFA's collection of Egyptian art. VMFA decided to make an exception to the AAMD guidelines in order to bring this object into a free, publicly accessible, educational institution, where it could be studied, displayed, and publicized.
