Acquired from Stein's Second Central
Asian Expedition, 1906-08.
The expedition was financed 3/5 by the
Government of India and 2/5 by the British
Museum and it was agreed that the finds
from the expedition should be allocated in
these proportions. The distribution of the
finds between London and India was
1917
determined by specialists, appointed by the
Government of India (through the India
Office, London) and the British Museum,
who drew up lists of the objects for
approval by both sides. The lists were
drawn up and approved in 1915.
