Context (Found together / assemblage)
Although this note came to the museum in association with 1932.248, it also applies to beads from the same hoard that came in via Horace Beck (1947.2337). A similar, if not identical, note in Robert P. Wild's hand can be found pasted in Beck's catalogue (AA5/3/11).
