Professor Francis Llewellyn Griffith discovered the rams during his temple excavations in 1930-1. He found two sets of paired sandstone bases at the western entrance to the stone temple, situated before the first and second pylons respectively. The bases featured figures of rams on two of them. One ram is matched with its counterpart at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, which holds many artefacts from Kawa excavations. The British Museum's example was obtained by Professor Griffith in 1933 from his Nubia excavations in Oxford.
