Context (Analysis)
This object is listed in the 1921 Distribution List as being "bought". Claudia Venier, PhD candidate at the University of Liege, believes that likely means it was purchased on the antiquities market in Egypt before being sent to MAA with the Gurob and Lahun material. She thinks it is unlikely that it is from either site, and that its provenance beyond Egypt is uncertain. Therefore the Place field has been updated accordingly.
