Provenance

Place of origin: Lipara
Provenance found: Found in 1928 in the excavation conducted by Orsi in the property of De Pasquali, adjacent to the vineyard of the Episcopal property. At that time it was in situ in a pile of stones, under which, at a depth of 2.60m, a child's tomb was found. After its discovery, the stele was reused in the large enclosing wall of the Episcopal palace, from which it was recovered and transported to the Eolian Archaeological Museum in 1978, when the wall was demolished (recovered by Raffiti)
