Provenance and Comments: According to French restitution records, this Chinese Ming bronze was misidentified as a Maillol statuette. The only one that might have been the subject of numerical confusion is KPR 9, which was not restituted and has been incorporated in the MNR series of unclaimed objects in the custody of the French Museum Administration under the aegis of the Ministry of Culture.
