Only two fragments of the bowl are known to exist and were unearthed in Nippur (Ianna Temple) by the archaeologist Hermann Volrath Hilprecht in 1889.

The bowl fragments were dated by Hilprecht (1893) to the beginning of the Early Dynastic III (ED IIIa) Period (or Nippur III) c.
He was professor of Old Testament languages and literature at the Protestant Episcopal Divinity School in Philadelphia (1884 -91) and professor of Hebrew at the University of Pennsylvania (1885-93) and from 1888 to 1895 conducted excavations at Nippur with John Henry Haynes and Hermann Volrath Hilprecht.
