According to the vendor (who was not the finder) the bowl was discovered some five years ago at Olympia, east of the Altis, between the stadium and the river Alpheios, in the bank of one of the small torrents formed by winter rains, which wash down earth from the hill of Kronos. In mediaeval times the bed of the Alpheios ran through that region. Unfortunately there is little hope that this account of the provenance can ever be verified, and the authenticity of the bowl established on irrefragable external proof.
