Context (CMS Context)
What appears to be the original catalogue card identifies A as a bead, though a later catalogue card identifies it as a spindle-whorl. The later catalogue card notes that B is from Orphir (the original card lists it as Bow Orpher) and that it was collected on 28 July 1911. C is listed as from Scaill.
