Context (CMS Context)
The object was found numbered Z 8952, the 2 having been crossed out and replaced with 3. However these Z numbers had also been assigned to two other objects in the box, which match the accession register. It is therefore unclear what the original number for this object is. All were found stored in the current Massim box.
Square white paper label on object reads [in brown ink]: 'Chinara Gourd,/New Guinea/EX. Sydney./1918.'
'A.16362' is written on the object in thick white ?paint. 'O.III.887' is written on the object in white ink. These may the Sydney Museum numbers
