Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
I’m researching a carved figure acquired by a museum in 1932. Its catalog lists a dealer in Paris, but a family letter says it was taken in 1917. Help me map the timeline.
I have a 1954 auction entry and two museum catalog descriptions for a bronze ritual vessel. Compare what each says about ownership and acquisition.
Help me prepare a restitution case summary for a ceremonial mask. The museum acquired it in 1968, and the community says it left during a 1942 military occupation.
