In the distribution list detailed in Brunton's Matmar, see References, this point is noted as going to the University Museum, Munich. However studying this list it appears that there were some mistakes made - objects sent to different institutions than those that were noted. It has been determined that this handle is that which appears on plate LII no. 16 in Brunton's excavation report. Therefore, the distribution list, in this instance is incorrect and the hanlde came to MAA and not Munich
