Context ()
The E J Brill label on this object gives the number 535d not 515d as previously stated. This label corresponds to a label found on E 1902.426.2 which gives the number 535b, and on Z 7035 which gives the number 535a suggesting that the three objects were originally part of the same collection. The illegible word in what may be either German or Dutch could possibly be something akin to Rüstung, which is German for armour.
