The Accession Registers record a donation of Benin objects by William Downing Webster. There is no correspondence in the MAA archives that discusses a gift rather than a sale from Webster at any time.
This object bears the sale room stock number 6451.

The Benin City artefacts sold or gifted by Webster were taken during the 1897 Benin Expedition.
