Origin:
Reported origin from excavations at Ostia in early 1900s. Purchased in Rome in 1932 along with other items (inv. A129245, A129246) by Captain Peter Johnstone-Saint, a collector working for Sir Henry Wellcome. On the three cards a name can be read in relation to the purchase: Racchi, Rocci and Rocchi — this may be Mariano Rocchi (1855, Perugia — 1943, Roma). The object form part of the Wellcome Collection of Medical Objects and are on permanent loan to the Museum (Science Museum’s Small to Medium Object Store, Blythe House, London) from the Wellcome Trust (Reg. No. 23/1936).
