Only 1 piece of sandalwood found with the number Z 2878 (instead of 3 originally recorded). It seems that the other two pieces might have been re-accessioned as Z 4126 & Z 4127.

Sample of sandalwood, formed of a single and rather large section of a branch. The bark has been removed (there are marks probably left by adzes throughout the surface). One end has been sawn (very smooth and regular). The other end is not as flat and regular.Still very fragrant. Some insect damage.
