Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 12: A Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, Artists, Antiquaries, Genealogists, Etc;; July December, 1861
The manner in which this object reached my hands, is somewhat curious. A few years ago, whilst a Sardinian ship was lying at Callao, some émeute took place and a convent in the locality being plundered, my brass plaque, and sundry small paintings, and a marble alto rilievo, were purchased from a looter by the captain of. The vessel. With the objects so procured, he de borated his cabin, where they remained till two years back, when his ship was wrecked in) enter-3 ing Table Bay. The brass then passed from him into my possession.
I shall be very glad to receive some information relative to the subject of this Note. Sigma-tau.
