Context (Amendments / updates)
This object was found, broken, in the Keyser Workroom and could not be matched to any existing MAA records so was assigned 2011.34. However, the traces of black ink (possibly a label or number) on the inside of the reconstructed rim and the fact that it has been reconstructed indicates that it has probably been in the Museum some time and may have an original idno to which it has not yet been matched.
