Don't let me pre-empt you, though! The more the merrier, especially on a great story like this one. :) My old entry on the head of Henry IV was getting a sudden spike of Google interest, so I realized I had to get the Louis XVI news up and running pronto.

Both published studies note that the owners wish to remain anonymous. The only specifics about their ownership of the gourd I could find was that they have a letter they wrote to the director of the Musee Carnavalet in Paris dated January 31st, 1900, which presumably mentions the artifact. No idea what was in the letter. It was brought up parenthetically as evidence that the family has owned the gourd for more than a century. I'm tremendously curious about the ownership history. I don't know why they're being so secretive about this. If I had such a cool thing I'd be bragging about it non-stop. None whatsoever.

Did they merely acquire it as a curiosity or was there a political context?
