From pedestal inscription:
Meteoric Iron. Otumpa [Campo Del Cielo], Chaco, Argentina. Known in 1783. Weight 1400 Lbs. Presented by Sir Woodbine Parish, K.c.b., 1826
From Wikipedia:
Campo del Cielo refers to a group of iron meteorites and the area in Argentina where they were found. […] The craters are estimated to be four to five thousand years old. They were reported to the general public in 1576, but were already well-known by aboriginal peoples. […] Otumpa, a mass of approximately 1 tonne, was discovered in 1803. A 634-kilogram (1,398 lb) portion of this mass was taken to Buenos Aires in 1813, then donated to the British Museum. ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campo_del_Cielo
