| Provenance: |
Acquired 2018 from U. Kuehn who inherited this bowl along with other objects from the German private collection Schulz in 2018. Acquired 1970 from Louis Meier, UK (probably London). Mr. and Mrs. Schulz have built up a large collection of prehistorical, ancient and ethnographic art in the 1960s to the early 1970s, with a focus on Cypriot Bronze and Iron Age art. The pottery objects were acquired on the London art market around 1970, many of them at Sotheby's auctions. Parts of the collection were on exhibition in the Bielefeld Museum of Art History (Kunsthistorisches Museum Bielefeld) from March 6 till April 7, 1977, as part of the exhibition "Werke der griechischen Antike" and are published in the exhibition catalogue. |
