Labels & inscriptions: 'Z 5188' inscribed in black ink inside the basket. 'Z 6203 B' [incorrect IDNO] inscribed on the outside of the object. A small round label with metal rim attached to the object reads: 'Z 5189 / A-E / 5 BAGS / SOLOMON / IS.' [also incorrect - there is no Z 5189 A-E in the Z register - Z 5189 is a single object, not a series].

Context (CMS Context)
This basket belongs to a series accessioned as Z 5185, Z 5186, Z 5187, Z 5188 and Z 5189 (See Z register). There is no explanation as to why the card for Z 5189 as been turned into a card for Z 5189 A-E, a series of objects that is NOT recorded in the register. There is also no obvious reason why Z 6203 (+ suffixes A, C, D & E) have been written on some of these baskets as they are clearly marked with the Z number from the Z 5185-Z5189 series. The numbers retained for MAA’s database entries (Z 5185-Z are those that correspond to the objects as they are described in the Z register. Other numbers, while recorded in the object’s database entry, should be ignored.
