Notes: -The belt samples, an edge of one fitting and a disk of the type used to retain the rivet securing a now-missing organic structure of the belt (leather or fabric), contained no metals, other than silver, that were detectable in scanning electron microscopy. In practice, this means that the silver content is in excess of 99.6% since the method is not suitable for trace-level analysis.?-The Art Loss Register, London (Submission Response S00253316 dated December 17, 2024) has confirmed that this work is not reported on their database as lost or stolen including Interpol and other Police losses which have been circulated; not reported as illegally exported or excavated; and not reported as looted or subjected to a forced seizure or forced sale between 1933 and 1945.Provenance: Private Collection, United Kingdom, and by descent to daughter, till December 2024.(Reportedly acquired by consignor's father as a gift from a general in Taiwan in the 1960's.)Private Collection, New York, December 2024 -(Acquired Irvington Auctions, Dublin, California, December 13, 2024, lot 551, Illustrated.)Literature: Irvington Auctions, Dublin, California, July 12, 2024 email:"The consignor of this lot is a British collector who stated that it was a gift her father received from a general in Taiwan in the 1960's."ASIAN ART AUCTION, Irvington Auctions, Dublin, California, July 13, 2024, lot 174.
