Context (Amendments / updates)
Marked, almost illegibly, 'Z 16768' on side of the bowl. The catalogue card for this idno covers '7 Badarian bowls' of which 4 are given suffixes (A-D) and are accounted for. This bowl, therefore, has no suffix and 'Z 16768' has accordingly been added to the ID NO field, although 1931.910 remains its primary accession number.
