PROVENANCE: This item was acquired in the early 1970s in India by the consignor's father, who was residing and working in India at the time of acquisition, and the piece has remained in the family's possession since that date, passing to the current consignor through inheritance. To the buyer and upon request, the consignor has agreed to provide a signed affidavit attesting to the circumstances of acquisition, including the approximate location and year of purchase (early 1970s, India). Note: No additional documentation (such as receipts, correspondence, or import records) is currently available from the period of acquisition; however, the consignor's firsthand account, formalized through affidavit, is offered as a good-faith representation of the item's provenance.
