Provenance
Acquired in Egypt by the great-grandparents of A.N., likely in the early 20th century, during their interactions with foreign archaeologists working in the region.
Thence by descent to A.N., who brought the artifacts to the United States in 1970, where they remained in his possession.
Acquired from the above by his cousin, K.H.N., in 1989, during a visit to the United States.
Subsequently entrusted by K.H.N. to A.N. for safekeeping upon his return to Egypt.
Upon the passing of A.N. in 2000, custody of the artifacts was requested by K.H.N. to remain with F.N., the wife of A.N.
Following the passing of K.H.N. in 2002, the artifacts were inherited by G.K.H.N., the daughter of K.H.N.
Acquired from the above by A.A. in 2024.
