The two stupas were offered to Gustave Maignan by the Captain Pinault following the archaeological excavations carried out in 1930 on 'île aux Buissons' (Tonkin). See a similar example from the same excavation at the Vietnamese National Museum of History, Ngo - Dinh - Anterior Le Dynasties, Ly – Tran Dynasties.
