- Abstract
In the Mesoamerican collection of the Ethnologisches Museum in Berlin, we find a highly elaborated Aztec bowl which is registered as the first object of this collection: IV Ca 1. This bowl is well-known and appreciated as a masterpiece of Aztec art; but the details about the circumstances of its acquisition by the museum are nearly unrevealed. Newly researches produce additional information about the purchase of this object in Venice and its treatment in Berlin, providing an insight into the history of the Ethnologisches Museum.
