Collection of Stift Neuberg (Neuberg Abbey), Heidelberg, Germany, 19th Century. Stift Neuberg was privately-owned from 1798 until 1926 and a collection of antiquities had been formed by 1893 when the Greek and Roman collection were published. It is believed that the amphora was acquired along with the rest of the collection by Friedrich Alexander von Bernus who had inherited Stift Neuberg from his relative Johann Friedrich Schlosser, a nephew of Goethe. The abbey was sold to the Benedictines in 1926 and has remained a religious establishment since then. Literature: Cf. Égypte Romaine, Musées de Marseille, 1997, p.120, no 129.
