Provenance
Collection of Carlo Micheli (d. 1895?), Paris; purchased in 1898 by Fritz Mayer van den Bergh (b. 1858, d. 1901), Antwerp; acquired by De Lannoy. According to Koechlin, this piece was in the Mayer van den Bergh collection in 1924. However, J. De Coo, in his article on the Micheli collection, stressed that this ivory, together with Koechlin 122, was unknown to him and not part of the Mayer van den Bergh collection.
