Context (Amendments / updates)
The old label reads '1332' which is the Beck Collection number. The Beck catalogue card also lists the museum number as 1947.2706. The number is from a run of IDNOs which were never added to the database, resulting in this object being incorrectly reaccessioned as 1999.81. This number has now been added to the MAA numbers field, and the corrected IDNO updated.
