Just words not provance. Some traders even think an item sold previously by a upmarket auction house is province but it is not. Dare say the mission did exist but the piece is made for sale to visitors.

Take auction house/sellers 'descriptions' with a huge tablespoon of salt.
It's 'fluffing', mostly to drive up the bids. Kangaroo and Emu are from the Australian coat of arms, popular add-on for those who travel: |
