“It is not known when and where the Tutankhamun head was found, but its provenance goes back to the 1960s, when Christie’s said it formed part of the collection of Prince Wilhelm von Thurn und Taxis, a German collector. It subsequently passed through the hands of dealers until bought by the current owners in 1985.

The head’s existence is well known among scholars: it has been lent for museum exhibitions in Germany and Spain and has been documented in academic studies of ancient Egyptian art since the 1980s.”
