Moussa collection, possibly Paris, by 1938 [1].

Purchased from the Estate of Jacob Hirsch by Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska, 1957.
[1] Identified in Pope and Ackerman, A Survey of Persian Art from Prehistoric Times to the Present vol. 1 (London: Oxford University Press, 1938), as being in the possession of Moussa. This possibly refers to Jacob Moussa, who was active in Paris from 1936–38 and sold four Persian pots to the British Museum. This is possibly the same person as J. Moussa, who lived in Paris and Tehran and whose collection was sold at the sale, Collection de M. J. M… de Téhéran, Art persan, Hotel Drouot, Paris, May 5–6, 1922.
