Context (Amendments / updates)
There are two objects recorded as 1927.1566: a Solomon Islands pendant (anthropology) and a British hand-axe (archaeology). MAA's accession register only records the Solomon Islands pendant under 1927.1566. It is thus likely that the IDNO of the hand-axe is incorrect.
