Provenance and Comments: This item was in a crate set aside for von Behr at the Louvre. A postwar annotation on the ERR inventory for Levy-Hermannos (Hermanos) states that this item was repatriated on 2 March 1946. However, according to its Munich (MCCP) Nr. (2826), the exit date is March 2, 1946, but the item number in question is LH 10, which is a crate number. Therefore, the annotation on the ERR inventory is erroneous.
