The net measures a sizable 26.5 in in length. From the Mr. and Mrs. Goddard Dubois antiquities collection, which was acquired during their extensive travels in Egypt in the early 20th Century.

Only a few pieces from this collection have been offered for sale. The beaded net includes a copy of a letter from the Museum of Man dated November 1, 1968, a copy of the loan documentation, a copy of the item number and inventory label from the museum exhibition, and newspaper articles detailing the original owners and documenting the collection of this item between 1901-1907.
