Context (Amendments / updates)
Given the confusion over multiple accession numbers for this object, the decision has been taken to use 1915.345 B as this object's sole accession number, since it was the first assigned to it (see Register 4). The bowl was later reaccessioned as 1916. 28 B (see Register 11) which is now recorded in the MAA Number field along with its Annual Report number, to avoid confusion.
