Handwritten label affixed to object by string, reads: '525 22 d.' on both sides. When this object entered the museum, there was no collector information, however this label is from the Philip Whiteway collection and so he has been added to the Source field. Note on envelope found with 2007.137 A-C reads: '280, 522, 525, 526, string of beads, odd assortment of beads & [illegible] rings mostly faience'.
