| Provenance: |
Acquired by us in 2021 from the German private collection of Professor K.-H. Manegold. Acquired by him from the art trade in the 1970s. Councilor Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Manegold (1930–2021) was a historian and long-time professor at the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University of Hanover, Germany. In addition to his academic activities, he was politically and culturally active in Göttingen, Germany for decades, including as chairman of the Cultural Committee and as the initiator of a local cultural award. His interest in archaeology is reflected in his extensive and well-documented collection of Etruscan artefacts, which was published in scholarly publications by his mentor and colleague, Prof. Dr. Raddatz. Individual artefacts from the art trade supplemented his collection. |
