History
Mereel was Dono Tello's final piece before he died. It took him over two years to complete due to his declining health. After Dono Tello's death, his work became highly sought after which increased their value.

In 42 BBY, the Mandalore Museum of the Arts curator, Pax Eem managed to acquire the Mereel sculpture. In transporting it to the museum on, via the Starport 15 passenger transport vessel, a thief named Jace Riker attempted to steal it. MI5 agent Shasta Moonreaper, who was traveling aboard that same vessel at the time, wasn't about to let that happen.

Riker managed to escape the transport with the sculpture in the back of his speeder. Shasta, giving chase in a speeder bike, fired a blaster at Riker's speeder. A blaster bolt hit the engine and the speeder exploded, causing Riker and the Mereel sculpture to be thrown from the vehicle. Since the sculpture was still wrapped in the packing materials used for transport, it survived the speeder crash unscathed.

Dono Tello's Mereel was later showcased in the Mandalorian Civil War exhibit at the museum on Mandalore.
