These beads were listed in the 2007 Accessions Register as coming from the Beck Collection. However, given the note found with them from Tom Harrisson addressed to the museum's curator (1937-1947), it seems more likely that they were never formally part of the Beck Collection but may have been stored with them at some stage.
