Context (Analysis)
The Accession Register and catalogue card both document the place of origin of the objects as China. However Louis Clarke, when creating the catalogue card, also noted that the objects might have been Korean, while Geoffrey Bushnell later identified the objects as Chinese, specifically from the Anyang area. As such, the record's Place field currently documents both China and Korea as possible place of origin.
