William H. and Lily F. Diehl collection, New York, acquired in 1947, most probably from Maguid Sameda, 55 Sharia Ibrahim Pasha, Cairo
Walter H. (1920-1981) and Martha W. Diehl
by descent to the present owner

Very good---the tip of one horn is missing and this may have been an old restoration, the other tip is nicked slightly; it is possible the ends of both horns are restored, as they often are, but we can find no sign of it. Some slight surface wear in areas, ends of the child's feet slightly nicked. Tenon under footstool fragmentary.
