Provenance
Almost certainly acquired by either William James (1854-1912) or his brother Frank James (1851-1890), who both travelled extensively in Egypt and the rest of Africa, and by descent to Edward James (1907-1984) in London and later at Monkton House(recorded there in 1967); subsequently moved to West Dean House circa 1986 (recorded there in 1987).
