According to Finot 1904c: 678, this object was reportedly found by a farmer in the middle of the 19th century; he brought it home and subsequently discarded it. It was found again by a Laotian and through him reached Adhémar Leclerc, resident of Kratie (in Cambodia). It was supposed by Finot to be held in the résidence of Kratie in 1904. We have not yet been able to locate it.

Edition(s) Read and interpreted in Finot 1904c: 679, whence the present edition.
