Both pieces are marked with inventory numbers of the Meissen City Museum. The Meissen collector and archaeological preservationist Max Andrä (1866-1946) had made them available to the redesigned Meissen City Museum in 1934 as a permanent loan. After the fall of the Wall, the loaned items were returned to the heirs of the collector Max Andrä. From their possession these collection pieces were acquired.
