Catalogue Note
Une tabatière ovale en jaspe, décorée de la même manière sur le même thème, fut présentée par Wartski à la foire des Antiquaires de 1954 et fut décrite comme "acquise récemment d'une fameuse collection royale" (Collections du Palais d'Egypte, Le Caire, 11 mars 1954, lot 290, non illustrée).
