The Metropolitan Museum of Art Purchased the Nedgemunk Coffin in 2017 for $3.9 Million

Patty Gerstenblith: The Met bought the coffin from a French antiquities dealer named Christoph Kooniki. She says due diligence was based on the export license, which showed that it had been exported in 1971. But if they had actually read or read carefully the export license,. she would have seen that the name of the country of Egypt had changed in 1971.
